In 2002, God brought me to Whitefield Academy to teach. When I signed on to teach fifth grade, the Lower school was brand new. There were no buildings, no set curriculum, and no students enrolled. Regardless, I was confident God was at work here and was eager for the adventure set before me.
My first year of teaching was a dream. The Whitefield family made me feel welcome and blessed me beyond what I deserved. As a single girl in a new city, I was nervous and apprehensive, but they helped me find a place to live, showed me around, and made me feel comfortable in my new home. I was prayed for, encouraged, loved, and taken care of by the very people I came to serve.
I happily taught for nine more years watching my students and the campus grow. In 2009, I had the

incredible opportunity to begin a new summer program with Adrienne Miller called Camp Whitefield. Attending summer camps was a big part of my childhood, so it was a true blessing to be able to start one in a place I loved so dearly. Whitefield Academy was growing and changing, as was I. During those nine years, I met and married my husband, Sam, and gave birth to our son, Nathan. The Whitefield family journeyed with me during those big life changes by throwing showers and supporting me when I was in need.
I received the news that my second child, Elizabeth, was coming and I knew God was calling me away from teaching to be a full-time mom. I was excited to have my family grow, but was grieved at the thought of leaving my Whitefield family. At my goodbye party, I was surprised with the opportunity to work part-time at the school, and I jumped at that chance to come back. Soon after, I was offered the chance to run the Summer Programs at Whitefield Academy.
I keep coming back because I’m invested in the mission of Whitefield and as the director of Summer Programs, that same mission carries throughout every camp we offer. This year, I have the unique opportunity to again serve families in our community by offering a Christ-centered summer program. We desire to bolster our Whitefield families through our summer programs, while also being the light of Christ to the community around us. Our camps are an extension of the high-caliber education offered throughout the year with an emphasis on developing skills through specialty camps and building character through Camp Whitefield, all while tending to the need of summer fun.

I keep coming back to this amazing school because it has been my family for twelve years and I want my children to one day attend and be able to grow in their faith and knowledge. Whitefield Academy is truly Christ-centered, and it is like no other school I have ever experienced.
