Camp Juliette Low has two experienced directors, Nancy Brim and Kappy Kelly, who share the duties and joys of camp leadership. They work together to recruit, hire and train staff and divide the time spent at camp in the summer equally. Between the two of them, Nancy and Kappy have over 30 years of experience at Camp Juliette Low and have held just about every job at camp!
Nancy first came to CJL as a camper in 1979 and was a Counselor-in-Training (CIT) in 1980 and 1981. She has since served the camp in many capacities - as a counselor, song leader, ropes course director, and CIT director. Nancy has been a camp director since 1994.
A native of Atlanta, Nancy has a BS degree in Biology from the University of the South and an MA in Secondary Education from San Jose State University. When she is not at camp, Nancy lives in Decatur with her husband, Peter Carnell, and Ivy, their cat. Nancy teaches chemistry at Lakeside High School and is a National Board Certified Teacher. Besides camping, Nancy enjoys playing soccer, cooking, and gardening. She and Peter volunteer much of their time in the off-season to CJL, serving on the Camp Committee, regularly attending work weekends, and participating in special projects such as the kitchen floor installation pictured here.
Kappy, a native of Marietta, GA has been part of the CJL family since her early childhood, coming to camp beginning with the first Alumnae Reunion when she was 18 months old. Reunions, Work Weekends and Parent/Daughter Weekends have been a part of her camp activities for many years. She has served CJL as a counselor, Trading Post coordinator, Crafts coordinator, CIT director, and has been Co-Director since in 2008. As a volunteer she has assisted in the areas of archery and crafts and has chaired both Reunion Parent/Daughter.
Kappy has a BA degree in Art Education from the University of Georgia. She teaches art at the Elementary K-5 level in the City of Marietta School System. Kappy has served as an advisor to K-Kids, sponsored by Kiwanis and Girl Scouts. She enjoys the out of doors by gardening and hiking with her dog Lucy. She is an expert experimenting with new recipes and trying them out on her family. Kappy has been the artist in residence for her sister Nancy's children's rooms painting trees, birds, and castles.
Peggy Holbrook is CJL's year-round business manager, and she spends her summers at camp along with the directors. Peggy spent her camper and CIT years at CJL, has worked for camp for 18 years, and has been the business manager for more than 10 years. Hers is the voice you hear when you call the winter office.
