Meet Our Camp Owners, Directors & Senior Staff

Owners/Directors

Martin and Kelsie Tribble come to Camp Woodmont with a desire to provide the best summer camp experience on Lookout Mountain. Originally from Greenwood, MS, the Tribbles moved to Lookout Mountain in late 2019 to begin their careers in the camping industry. Martin and Kelsie spent the past four years as Assistant Camp Directors in Mentone, AL. He worked as the Business and Facilities Manager, and she as the Program Director. Working alongside each other in these roles sparked the Tribbles' desire to commit their lives to the summer camp experience, and gave them the confidence to step into the roles of owners and directors.

Martin came into camping with a background in accounting from Mississippi State University and seven years of corporate accounting experience. He may like numbers, but loves the FUN even more! He will most likely be found jumping into any game or activity across camp, and has a not-so-secret life goal of being a DJ. He is always ready for a hug, a dance party, or a game of kickball.

Kelsie spent 6 years in the public school system as a speech-language pathologist after graduating from Mississippi State University and Mississippi University for Women. Teaching comes second nature to her, and she loves nothing more than teaching a child to ride a horse. She grew up attending traditional summer camps across the southeast, and spent her college summers as a staff member at both co-ed and all-girl camps. Kelsie loves a good book, an encouraging conversation, and cheering camper's on as they conquer their fears.

The Tribble family also includes Louis (6) and Jane (4), who are thrilled to be living at Camp Woodmont full-time and exploring the trails. The summer of 2024 will be Louis's first camping experience, and he is ready to share it with all of you. Their family is rounded out by two over-enthusiastic golden retrievers, Tucker and Charlie, who will be ready to greet you with kisses soon.

"Grateful and ecstatic are the two words that keep coming to mind when we imagine what our first summer at Camp Woodmont will be like. We deeply value the trust that you have put into the program that the Bennett's have built, and we are dedicated to continuing the legacy of the Bennett family in the years to come. Thank you in advance for welcoming us into the Camp Woodmont family, and we hope to meet each and every one of you as you leave your children in our care this summer. We hope you will not hesitate to reach out to us in the upcoming months with questions or simply to connect."

Co-Director & Equine Director:

Stephanie Moss

 

Stephanie Moss is our Equine Director & Co-Director with Chloe.  Stephanie lives on the camp property and handles all aspects of the barn and horseback riding program. Additionally, she assists with camper registrations, programming, hiring/training/staff supervision, marketing and organizational projects.

Stephanie came to Camp Woodmont as a camper 15 years ago from Tampa, Florida. She began working in the barn as an assistant when she was 16. Today, Stephanie is a college graduate of The University of South Florida with a duel degree in Integrated Animal Biology and Anthropology.  She is a certified Riding Instructor from Christian Camp Horsemanship International.

Her life and passion is horses!  Stephanie rescued her first horse, Lightning, when she was 19, and a couple of years later rescued a horse named Sky, a wild mustang from the Nevada Mountains.

Stephanie will tell you that camp is a transformative experience.  In 2015, she survived a lightning strike at the barn.  Her brush with death has caused her to re-evaluate life and strengthened her character and made her an even more exceptional person.  Working in this new position, she will continue to enrich the lives of children and inspire other camp counselors.

Maintenance Director

Joe Arthur

We are delighted to have Joe Arthur as Maintenance Director!  Joe manages year-round camp maintenance, repair, building and landscaping.  Joe is a welder by trade, but he has experience with all types of industrial maintenance. He has lived and worked on a farm most of his life so he knows what it takes to care for 170 acres. Joe is a skilled carpenter, electrician and plumber.  He has a passion for working with his hands.  Whether it’s making a new water fountain, building new benches or landscaping, Joe has the experience and know-how to fix, repair and build just about anything (which is necessary at camp!) In his free time, Joe spends time with his 14-year old son fishing and hunting.

 

Chef & Kitchen Manager

Mary Robledo

Mary Robledo joined Camp Woodmont in 2023 as our head chef and kitchen manager!  We were astounded by Mary’s tenacity and ability to manage our commercial kitchen and our helpers efficiently and effectively!  Mary and her husband, Kris, and two children Abby and Rayland, moved to the camp in May 2023 in their RV.  As full-time RVers, the Robledo's move from state to state working various jobs and gaining a vast array of experience.  Originally from Miami, Mary realized her passion for cooking and working with children when she worked at Canopy Oaks resort in Miami.  Her experience as a teaching assistant was also ideal for managing the kitchen at Camp Woodmont.  She has an associate’s degree in Business Administration from Broward College.  Fun facts: She is Cuban and loves to hunt and fish. But mostly, she has a true passion for cooking, especially for large groups.  Her husband, Kris, is a tremendous helper in the camp kitchen and other projects (when he’s not working his online full-time job).  He is also an outstanding hunter and fisherman, and hikes all the tough trails at camp!  Together this duo is dynamic!  We’re so delighted to have them return in 2024!  Mary has some great ideas for camp menus and we are looking forward to what she has in store for us!
