Hello Camp Henry! My name is Frank Townsend (he/him) and I am so excited to lead the Camp Henry Staff and campers through the summer of 2023! Since 2011, summer camps have been the one constant in my life, and I am ecstatic to get to experience the magic of Camp Henry with all of you!

Hey I’m Cece! (she/her) I grew up in the small town of Highlands, NC, lived in Greensboro, NC for college, and now I live in a van! I have my Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology from The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I plan to use that in the future to attend a Chiropractic College and become Dr. Schmitt, but for now I am living like a wild child out in the desert and exploring the beautiful country we live in! These days I love hiking, playing guitar, listening to music, and getting outside as much as possible. I am so excited to return to Camp Henry for my 14th summer (!!) where I can give back to the amazing community that has opened its arms to me, loved me, and inspired me since my first summer at Camp Henry. See you soon!
