Hi, everyone! My name is Grace and I’m from Bowling Green, Kentucky. It’s crazy this will be my fourth summer at CGL. I just finished up my sociology degree at Northern Kentucky University and am hoping to start graduate school in the fall. In the mean time, I’ve been working at my local rock climbing gym and taking a few extra classes at Western Kentucky University. As always, I can be found watching Brad Leone’s cooking videos in my free time. I’m super excited to catch up with old campers and get to know all the new faces this summer!
