For Maria Mauthe, Natalie Hargrove, and Laurie Ford, summer camp has always been a family affair. The two sisters and their mom are a three-generation camping family. They grew up going to summer camp, and today, their kids are campers and staff at Woodmont.
That personal connection to Woodmont is what inspired them to become its new owners. They wanted to invest in a place their family already loved, keep its longtime traditions alive, and make sure it continues to thrive for generations to come. It’s Summer, Reimagined with deep respect for everything that has always made Woodmont, Woodmont.
They also bring years of experience as successful business owners in the Nashville area, where they’ve built a thriving company centered around community and giving back. Now, they’re bringing that same energy to Lookout Mountain. They’re investing in facilities, expanding leadership opportunities, and laying the groundwork for a nonprofit that will help more children experience Woodmont.
There’s a lot ahead, but the heart of it is pretty simple: a family who knows what summer camp can do for kids because they’ve lived it themselves. Now, they get to help shape what comes next.
And they’d love to meet you! Maria, Natalie, and Laurie are always happy to answer questions, talk about Woodmont, or simply get to know your family. Give them a call or send them an email anytime. They love talking about camp and can’t wait to share everything they love about Woodmont with you.
