From the Camp Director,
WOW! It has been a fantastic month of camp. We have had 1,293 campers from the end of May until the last week of June! Praise the Lord! We have had more and more campers that have no church affilaition than ever before. That does create issues such as behavior and other challenges, because these kids are not used to sitting and listening to lessons and sermons and understanding what Worship is about, but what an opportunity we have to share Christ with all of these kids.
Our summer staff is doing well. It is the end of June and they are tired. So please pray that they have the strength to finish strong. Very proud of our Program Intern, Caleb, for leading our summer staff he is doing a great job.
Todd and his team are doing amazing! I hear so many people tell me that they really like the food that is prepared.
So, camp is going well. Thank you for all your support through prayer and finances to help make camp happen.
The only thing I'm discouraged in, is that we have to find another Maintenance Director. Very sad to say that Drew & Diana will be moving on after camp is over. Drew and Diana, in a year, have done so much and have worked so hard. Drew came from being the Camp Director for many years and feels like that is the role best for him. So we wish them well in searching for their new ministry opportunity.
We will be collecting resumes through the month of July in hopes to interview in August and have someone here by September. Please keep this in your prayers. If you know of someone interested please have them contact me.
