Camp Pastor
Caleb McDonald
I am a content and programming coordinator at Port City Community Church in Wilmington, North Carolina! I have a wife named Elizabeth, an awesome dog named Sasha, and I love the Michigan Wolverines football team. I attended camp when I was a kid, was fortunate to work as a CentriKid Staffer for three summers during college, and am so excited to be a camp pastor this summer!
Worship Leader
Lauren Thomas
Hey, I’m Lauren! I am the Worship Leader at Church of the Harvest in Olive Branch, MS. I started leading worship at age 15 and fell in love with seeing how God touched lives through worship. I went on to get my B.A. in Modern Music with an emphasis on Worship Leading. I love traveling and meeting people from all different cultures and backgrounds. I love experiencing and embracing all that God has created. I have a huge heart for kids and am very passionate about investing in the next generation. I believe that there is so much we can learn from one another and I love having the opportunity to serve within God’s Kingdom. I can’t wait to meet you!
about the campus
Located in Murfreesboro, NC, Chowan University is a peaceful, welcoming campus in a small town, situated midway between Raleigh, NC, and Virginia Beach.
The beautiful campus features plenty of athletic facilities and fields, an indoor pool, and a dining hall with accommodating staff. There is also a hang out space called the Hawks Nest with foosball, ping pong, and billiards tables.
in case of inclement weather
We communicate with Group Leaders on-site when inclement weather is approaching, and our staff have plans in place to keep the fun going safely indoors.
If needed, the auxiliary gym provides a great option for recreation or track times. Your Camp Director will keep you updated on everything you need to know when conditions like these arise at camp.
