Greetings Camp Friends!

I most recently wrote to you about the auction (what fun that was!) and before that, about summer camp, staffing, and climbing shoes.  A big thanks to those of you who bought climbing shoes for campers.  We received 7 more pairs.  Check below to find the link to the current list of climbing shoes needed.  I raise this again because we'd like to round out our sizing, and because hopefully this winter, we will complete the indoor climbing wall which will really finish out the pavilion nicely!

On the topic of staffing, we recently put together this video to send out to supporting churches because we are working to update the way we do the church part of camp (Jumpstart and Fireside).  The update will include new training for counselors on how to share their faith throughout the daily routine of camp as most campers are impacted notably, and in some cases significantly, by their counselor.  Patrick "Rupert" Graber wrote about how this looks in his blog post, and in the video below, I share how a recent camper saw Christ through her counselors' joy.  Of course this makes the counselor role as important as ever.  Please take a look at the video and as you watch, be thinking of young people in your life who might make great camp staff this winter and this coming summer.
