“For a young man full of pride, I haven’t come across a better opportunity to get motivated to serve. It’s easier to serve when you have a passion for something, and camp is being revealed more and more to be one of the largest I have. That humility plus the faith needed in support, the discipline needed at the work place, and the patience required with relationships (being personal, spiritual, and professional) are all being cultivated in the ministry environment.”
-Lowell Slagle, 2009-2010 Intern

“The Internship is the best thing I have ever done and I am not just saying that. Coming from the business world, the internship has showed me so much about myself mentally and spiritually. I have learned how much I cannot rely on my own strength but God’s to get through any situation. The camp staff is so supportive in helping me find out who I am and just taking time to teach me what they do. I am very grateful for the opportunity I have with them!”
-Brent Williams, 2009-2010 Intern
