Mary Joe serves Camp Albemarle as our dedicated Office Administrator and is lovingly known as the camp’s “Doer of All Things.” Her steady leadership and joyful flexibility support every corner of our ministry, as she wears many hats across our programs and keeps camp running smoothly day after day.

Together they have three grown children and one grandson who lights up their world. When she’s not at camp, Mary Joe enjoys hiking, running, fishing, relaxing at the beach, and capturing moments through hobby photography. You can also often find her curled up with a good book in her spare time.
Camp Albemarle is truly blessed by her heart for service and the countless ways she strengthens our mission every single day.
