Eric Cain

Being active in nature is cathartic for Eric Cain, who expects to be smiling just as widely as the groups he leads through the Outdoor Program.

Coaching will complement his new roles as a History instructor and Houseparent in South Carolina House.

Mr. Cain is a self-described lifelong learner who has taught at high schools in Georgia and North Carolina. Additionally, he has worked with educational/enrichment programs for students, such as the N.C. Governor’s School, and helped lead the Cothran Center for Vocational Reflection at his college alma mater of Furman University.

When he lived in Atlanta, Mr. Cain served as a youth minister and pastoral resident in a local congregation.

Mr. Cain holds master’s degrees from Wake Forest University (Arts in Education) and Mercer University (Divinity). He completed his undergraduate studies at Furman in 2004, majoring in History and Political Science with a concentration in Latin American Studies.

His hobbies include hiking (and many other outdoor activities), poetry, cooking, and traveling. He is happy to share stories with the boys about some of the truly unique and interesting places he has visited over the years. Mr. Cain loves spending time with family, friends, and his cats.
