Welcome to Snowbird Camp! In the last week, I have danced, dressed up, and shared the gospel more than I ever have in my life. It has been a crazy roller coaster but I wouldn't want to be anywhere else =) God has certainly called me to this place.

Snowbird is different than any other camp I have experienced. The staff is committed to sharing the true gospel, and not pressing campers into emotional decisions. We are entrusted with the gospel, and we preach it to them multiple times a day!

A brief schedule so you get a feel for the camp.. Mornings we have a worship/sermon time - so fun because we get crazy and dance while they enter in! -  and then breakout sessions for extra learning (how to study the bible, hell, preaching the gospel, modesty etc). Lunch is next! After lunch, the students leave for recreation - hiking, biking, canoeing, horse back riding, white water rafting etc.

I work the skeet shooting rec and guide down the Nanahala river - white water rafting. So much fun! After dinner is another session for woship and preaching. Each night we have a different activity after our sermon: tues night we do a slam dunk contest, wednesday we split up the girls and guys and have a talk.. with a girl dance party in-between! Thursday night is a re-enactment of Revelation 17.. Satan and his demons kill the martyrs and Christ comes to save his people and throw Satan in the pit! More on that later!

The staff here is a gift from God. We learn, serve, and love one another for the sake of the gospel. Every week we are so exhausted, but we find encouragement through our fellow brothers/sisters in Christ. It is a blessing to be apart of the body of Christ.

Each week, I am assigned to a specific church and the girls they bring. Our job is to spend time with them and pour into them for the purpose of sharing the gospel. We lead share groups after each night session with those girls as well. It blows my mind how open they become after you share a solid week with them!

I have already learned so much from 2 weeks of staff training and 1 week of camp.. but since my intro has been long enough, you'll have to stay tuned for lessons learned!
