This summer, I have the opportunity to be placed on the summer staff at Camp Crosspoint in Pelham Georgia. God has called me to spend 8 weeks interacting with children ranging from ages kindergarten to 8th grade. I will be spending each of these weeks evangelizing to the kids that make their way through camp for both the overnight and day camps. My main focus will be to prioritize spreading the gospel with campers in order to further expand the kingdom of God. As someone who has grown up going to camp every summer, and experienced many weeks and weekends of camp, I know how much of an impact a counselor can have on a kid. I still remember talks I had with former counselors that shaped the way I view the world, and more importantly my walk with Christ.

I’ve served as a counselor at Camp Crosspoint for 2 years, and last summer I had the ability to volunteer much of my time to its mission. It was during that time that I came to the realization that I wanted to spend the entire summer at camp as a full-time staffer using my time to express the grace and glory of God through camp. It is for that reason that I have decided to devote this summer to camp ministry.
