    My Ministry at Camp

    As the supervisor I have the privilege of working with a great group of individuals who help make what we do during summer possible. The summer program runs eight weeks of camp and a week of staff training. Preparation for each summer begins in the Fall. The summer program has the opportunity to unite over 130 summer staff, 40 speakers and missionaries, and close to 3000 campers for an amazing time. A week of camp creates memories that last a lifetime and impacts many lives in some way for eternity.

    Started: 2003

    My Ministry at Camp

    I work alongside the Summer Program Supervisor helping hire 120+ Summer Staff, putting together an exciting program for our 8 weeks of camp and staff training.

    Started: 2009

    Family info

    I grew up in Colorado being the oldest of 5 kids to my amazing parents, Bill and Kristie. I was never a fan of the outdoors until I was introduced to camping and the fantastic outdoors at Id-Ra-Ha-Je following my graduation from high school. I fell in love with God's beautiful creation and the many adventures that can be had! I began working on seasonal staff in 2005, interned from June 2006- August 2007 and the rest is history.
