Arts and Craft Director

Hey guys! My name is Meg Swisher ( formally Gibson…I got married this past May!) I will be the Arts and Crafts Director once again this summer! I was born in Nashville, Tn but growing up lived in the British Virgin Islands, Tuscan, Az as well as Fort Worth Tx. I always made my way back to Middle Tennessee, where I still call home. I have 3 kids, ages 16, 13 and 10 yrs old. I work at a local Nashville private school, where I am a teacher assistant for PreK students. Jen Mayo and I worked side by side at summer camps and after school programs for the last 8yrs! When I am not working with children, I spend my free time drawing, painting, and kayaking with my dog and kids. I absolutely love combing my two passions, creating art and nurturing children. I am excited to meet all the kids for another fun filled summer at Camp Caverns, where we will make amazing and wonderful memories that will last a lifetime!

Counselor

Hi! My name is Megan Shrum, and I grew up here in Grundy County. When I’m not providing a positive experience at music events here at The Caverns, I like to spend time with my siblings, make music with my friends, and express myself through art. Growing up here allowed me to spend a lot of my time outside, so I love to hike or sit and watch nature do its thing. I’m very passionate about helping others, and enjoy creating a fun, comfortable space for everyone. This is my first year at Camp Caverns, and I can’t wait to meet everyone! I am so grateful I get to spend part of my summer by guiding, teaching, and making memories with some pretty cool guys and gals!

I currently play volleyball and tennis and enjoy hanging out with friends. I volunteered at a church camp a year ago and had so much fun seeing the kids enjoy their time and helping them out. I can’t wait for Camp Caverns!
