Caleb Purdue is transitioning to be the Program Director. Growing up, Caleb was a long-time camper at Cedar Crest and has now spent the last 3 summers as a member of camp’s summer staff, once as a counselor and twice as Waterfront Director. He graduated from the University of Kentucky in Spring 2022 with a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre; minors in Trumpet Performance, Vocal Performance, and Appalachian Studies; a certificate in Musical Theatre; and a medallion signifying completion of all Lewis Honors College requirements. Caleb is extremely excited to be working at Cedar Crest for a full year and hopes he can use his position to help build a path towards more successful summers to come, as he plans to do all he can to provide future campers and counselors alike the same types of deeply meaningful and truly transformative experiences that he has been met with through his years at camp. In his free time, you may find Caleb hiking around, running, singing at the top of his lungs, dancing whenever and wherever there is music, playing his trumpet or the piano, or kicking back and enjoying some video games.
