About Audrey

Audrey Sollie-Jordan is the Director of Cedar Crest Camp. She is a mom of two human children and one amazing dog, and is married to former Cedar Crest summer staff member, Will. Audrey is a graduate of the University of Southern Mississippi (SMTTT) and of Sewanee School of Theology (YSR). She has almost 20 years of experience in UMC churches and camp & retreat ministry.

Audrey is happiest taking a walk with her family, working in a garden, or playing in a moving body of water. She loves to read & reflect, and she thinks a well-placed pun is very funny. Audrey celebrates that camp and retreat ministry provides a space for all people to be their authentic selves, and is excited to continue creating opportunities for people to experience this kind of community at Cedar Crest.

About Phil

SCROLL PARA LA VERSIÒN EN ESPAÑOL

Phil Salter is our Environmental Education Director here at Cedar Crest. He is a graduate of the University of Southern Mississippi and Drew University Theological School. He has over a decade of camping and education experience with children and youth and loves the joy and surprise of learning with folks of all ages. At this very moment, Phil might be thinking about how his daughter, Annie, makes him smile and laugh, when the next season of The Traitors drops so he can watch it with his wife, Sarah, how to find more time to skateboard, which book to dive into next, when to plant something, and what the ocean might feel and sound like if he were near one.

About Caleb

Caleb Purdue is the Program Director at Cedar Crest Camp. In many ways, it's a full-circle, dream-come-true for Caleb, who grew up as a longtime camper at Cedar Crest. In 2022, he graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Kentucky with a major in Theatre, an Honors college certificate, a Musical Theatre certificate, and minors in Appalachian Studies, Political Science, and Music Performance (Trumpet and Vocal). A year later, he joined the year-round staff at camp after a couple years on Summer Staff, and he has been part of the team since. In his free time, Caleb loves singing, playing his guitar/piano/trumpet, dancing, hiking, reading, or playing video games.
