Emily Thompson

Accounting / Bookkeeping Wizard

Emily was born and raised in Upstate NY. After graduating from SUNY Oswego in 2016 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Emily worked her 1st summer in Camp Carolina’s office and began to consider the mountains of WNC home. She loves any opportunity to use her creative skills at camp–she has painted our bouldering wall and a mural for the office and designs Camp merch and marketing materials! Emily has also spent two epic summers in the CCB Kitchen focusing on Vegan/Veggie/GF meals and kitchen management. In the off-season she works part time as the Camp Bookkeeping Wizard.

Emily started a part-time screen printing business in 2020 through which she hand prints apparel for Camp Carolina and other local businesses. She lives on site with her husband Alfred Jr. and their Border Collie, Little Bear. Alfred Jr. and Emily are expecting a little camper of their own in August 2023! In her free time, you can find Emily hiking, reading, traveling, practicing yoga, perusing a local thrift shop, or working on a DIY project. She absolutely loves the summer months when the valley is full and the tight-knit Camp Carolina community is flourishing.
