Jen Miller — Director

I grew up skiing, hiking and climbing in the beautiful mountains of Northern Utah. Because I love kids and I love being outside, I earned a B.A. in Human Development with a minor in Recreational Planning. I am a graduate of the NOLS Outdoor Educator course and I am a certified Wilderness First Responder.

Since moving to Wilmington I have taken up flat water kayaking and SUPing. I have loved exploring the East Coast with my husband and three boys ages 9, 6, and 3! I have been taking my boys camping since my oldest son was 2 months old. I love to explore outside with them and I can't wait to share my love of nature and the outdoors with the kids at Camp C.L.I.M.B. as well.

Chelsey Loder — Lead Instructor

I led an idyllic childhood growing up in Pocahontas, Iowa where kids had lots of freedom to run and play outside! After graduating high school, I sought adventure in Miami, Florida where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology from Florida International University in 2008.

While in Miami I learned how to surf and SUP and I have been taking tourists and locals on kayak and SUP tours for over 10 years! I love being on, in, and around the water and I am happy to be able to share my love for all things ocean with the kids at Camp C.L.I.M.B.

I am EMR (Emergency Medical Responder) certified and I have my rock climbing belay man certification.

Emma Holton — Instructor

I am a recent graduate of Ashley High School and am looking forward to attending NC State University this year. I love to run and I will be running with the Cross Country Club members at State. I spend most of my summers at the beach with friends and this year I am excited to spend it with the campers at Camp C.L.I.M.B.

I am CPR and First Aid certified.
