Linda Collins

Linda is absolutely thrilled to join the Camp Cole team as the new Programs Manager! Her journey to this role has been a beautiful mix of the arts, education, and entrepreneurship. She spent five incredible years living and performing in New York City before deciding to go back to school for Music Education. From there, she shared her love for music as an elementary music teacher, a middle school chorus director, which eventually led her to serve as the Youth Director at her church. While transitioning into youth ministry, she kept her musical roots alive and still actively conducts a children’s choir and serves as a section leader in the adult choir.

Driven by a passion to support educators, she also founded and ran her own logistics company, which specializes in providing statewide professional development for career-readiness teachers right here in South Carolina.

When not developing exciting new programs for Camp Cole, you can find her performing music alongside her husband, Kyle. Family is the center of her world; she is incredibly blessed with two wonderful stepsons, two beautiful daughters-in-law, and the absolute apple of her eye—granddaughter, Ivy.

She deeply feels the passion, heart, and mission of Camp Cole, and cannot wait to help enrich and nourish the lives of every camper who walks through the gates.
