Meet the Team

Beth Campbell

I’m Beth Campbell, the Director of Auxiliary Programs at CCES. I lead our team in making sure our programs are innovative, fun, and safe for all Summer Encounters campers. My family is new to Greenville and loving all the area has to offer! Outside of work you can find me spending time with my son and husband, who is a Middle School teacher at CCES, enjoying a good book, or rewatching a favorite tv show. “Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose.”

Andrew Wheaton

My name is Andrew Wheaton and I am the Auxiliary Programs Operations Coordinator. I began as an extended day teacher at CCES in 2023 and am a proud dad of three wonderful daughters (Abby, Maggie, and Georgia) and husband to a beautiful wife, Elizabeth! I am a native of the great state of Georgia but have called Greenville home for over a decade. Outside of work you can find me rooting for the LSU Tigers, playing golf, or going to concerts. "Laissez les bons temps rouler."
