Hey y’all! My name is Emily, and I’m so excited to join Camp Caverns this year. I’m from Asheville, NC & spend most of my time as a creative expressive therapist and survivor advocate. I really love creating experiences & spaces where kids can create, freely express themselves & feel like they belong exactly as they are. When I’m not at camp, you can usually find me at a concert, hiking with my dogs, Marshall & Scout or crafting my heart away. I’m all about creativity, curiosity, and letting camp be a place where you can try new things, be silly, and make lifelong friends . I can’t wait to meet you all and make some magic together this summer!
