Renzi Ricketts

Renzi Ricketts set sail for St. Christopher in January 2023, and began serving as the Director of Summer Camp. She arrived to our team with ten years of camp and retreat ministry, and a passion for supporting and uplifting young people. Her formal education includes a Master of Science in Youth Development Leadership from Clemson University.

Renzi is interested in providing intentional Christian community for young people of all ages and creating opportunities for them to thrive at camp and in their daily lives. She wants young people to leave camp with a deeper connection to God, their faith, and their communities.

Renzi is married to Paul, who serves on the Facilities and Kitchen teams here at St. Christopher. They have two cats named Pickles and Dijon. When she is not working, you will find her climbing a rock wall, cooking, reading, painting her nails, and hammocking.

Where do you see God at St. Christopher?

I see God in the wind, that guides our hearts, minds, and sails towards our faith and community. Standing on the steps at the Chapel of the Palms is where myself, the summer staff, and campers get to experience the wind and the view that brings us closer to one another. 

What is your favorite place on campus?

My favorite place on campus is the Rec Hall. The amount of joy, dance parties, talent shows, and laughter that happens in this space is really magical.
