Amy Jules
Hi! My name is Amy and I am a college student at John Brown University. I am originally from Florida but I have spent my entire life in Haiti.

Owen Maritt
HELLO EVERYBODY!!!!!! My name is Owen Maritt, and I am beyond excited to be a part of the 2025 team of counselors at Camp Living Stones! I was born and raised in North Texas for 15 years until my family and I moved to South Florida in 2021. I grew up in the church and had always believed in God, but it wasn't until 2021 when I went to CLS for the first time and encountered God that I truly started living for the Lord. God has been doing amazing things my entire life, building and shaping me to get to where I am now. I cannot wait to take all that I have learned and apply it as a counselor serving others. I have seen God do amazing things through this camp for me and I know God will continue to do so for all that come to camp!
I am a HUGE outdoors person and love going on adventures big and small. I love surfing, backpacking, hiking, fishing, and pretty much anything you can do outside. Getting to play in God's beautiful creation is such an amazing gift! I am also a big motorhead who loves taking apart, building, and driving/riding, cars and motorcycles. But more than any of that I love serving others and worshiping God through my actions, words, and song (although it doesn't sound great, it's the heart posture that counts). There is nothing better than doing what we were designed to do!
Jessi Looney
Hi, I’m Jessi Looney! This is my second year being a counselor at CLS! I am 20 years old and I am from Grundy, Virginia. I attend Johnson University, and I am currently unsure what I want to do, possibly become a PE teacher, but relying on the Lord to guide my steps! I love God and love people, and some of my favorite things are hanging out with people, coffee, running, going on any kind of adventure, the beach, and playing any kind of sport! God changed my life through camp last year, and my prayer is for campers, staff, and volunteers to grow in their walk with the Lord and to taste and see his goodness!

“O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them.” John 17:25-26 ESV
