New News!

Ev Schwartz

With spring right around the corner, there are lots of new things popping up around camp. We have some new projects, new four legged friends and new members of the Green Cove family!

To start, we are thrilled to introduce you to Ev(pronounced Ee-vee) Schwartz! Ev joined the Green Cove Family back in February, as the new Assistant Director. Caitlin has decided to pursue a Master’s Degree, so has handed the reins over to Ev, and we all are excited to have her on board. This summer, you will see Ev making the rounds to all the activities, so be sure to stop her and introduce yourself!

Meet Green Cove’s newest horses! We are so excited for you to meet these new friends in a few short months. Molly, Dobby, Luna, and Quaffle all get their names from the Harry Potter series. And they are getting ready to show you a “magical” time at the barn this summer!

We’ve been busy here at camp with many new projects, including a new Main Lodge porch, and rebuilding Thunderhead cabin! We’ll keep you updated with pictures as the construction goes on.

Green Cove is so special to all of us, and we’d like to hear what Green Cove means to you! Campers, please fill out the survey below and see your words create a special project coming this summer!

About Calla Williamson

Calla feels very lucky to have grown up at Green Cove and Mondamin. She is the daughter of Frank Bell and the niece of Green Cove Director Nancy Bell. Graduating from Oberlin College in 2003, Calla spent some time away from camp volunteering in West Africa, pursuing professional horse training, and then settling down and starting a family. Since she’s been back at Green Cove, her roles have included Line Head, Head of Riding, and Associate Director. Calla works full time for camp during the off season from her home in Charlottesville Virginia, with the help of a webcam straight into the Green Cove office! She is involved with everything to do with camp- from talking to parents and campers to hiring staff, and everything in between. Her husband, Nathan, and two boys, Tucker and Elliot, move down to North Carolina with her every summer for the camp season.
