Director Jud's Blog

All of us at Stone Mountain Adventures are thrilled to introduce the SMA Staff Team of Summer 2025! It feels especially meaningful to kick off camp on the summer solstice—the longest day of the year—giving us even more daylight to begin building connections, creating memories, and soaking in the magic of summer. Staff training has already been incredible, filled with energy, laughter, and lots of learning as we gear up for an unforgettable season. This year’s team is a vibrant mix of returning legends and fresh new faces, all united by a passion for working with teens in the outdoors. Our staff have journeyed from across the globe—including Spain, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Australia, Mexico, and five U.S. states—bringing with them diverse perspectives, unique talents, and a contagious enthusiasm. I’m proud of this amazing group, and I feel confident that we’re on the brink of something truly extraordinary.
