SCWA Announces Hires New Camp Woodie Director

The South Carolina Waterfowl Association is pleased to announce the promotion of TJ Morgan to the position of the Camp Woodie Director. TJ studied Camp and Outdoor Adventure Leadership at Liberty University. After college, he started as an outdoor educator at Camp Hanes for two seasons. Growing up in the small town of Cornelius NC, TJ always attended YMCA Camp Hanes in King, NC, where he first fell in love with the camp atmosphere discovering his passion to serve in the camping industry full-time. Every summer after high school, he dedicated his summers to learning to better prepare him to be a Camp Director. He worked at Camp Hanes as a counselor and on the leadership team as the Shooting Sports Leader for two summers. In this role, he was in charge of teaching gun safety and 5-stand to the campers and staff. He worked a summer as a tower staff member at Camp Eagle Rock in Charlotte NC, where he worked to help campers reach new heights and challenge themselves to overcome their fears. He branched out from his normal summers at camp and served as a High Ropes Guide at the U.S. National Whitewater Center, helping guests on zip lines and challenge courses. TJ always knew that camp was his home away from home. TJ started his journey with SCWA as a Camp Leopold Instructor in the Fall of 2019. He was then promoted to the Assistant Camp Director and Heritage Program Director in March of 2020. We are thrilled to have him in this new position as the Camp Woodie Director.
