Preparing for Summer 2010 Part 1

Well, I finished my second year of university in April of 2010 and had a wonderful week where I had no duties to perform or places to be. At the end of that week I had a three week practicum in my old high school, working as a helpful observer in a few classes. After that practicum was over, I then moved out to camp, Mill Stream Bible Camp, where I am going to be working for the summer. During the month of July and all but two weeks of August, I will be working as the Program Co-ordinator for the Mill Stream camps. I will also be here during the other two weeks of August, working as support staff for Handi*Camp, a camp also run by BCM(Bible Centered Ministries, the mission Mill Stream is with), and also for a rental camp at the end of the month of August.
Last year I worked at Mill Stream as the Activities Co-ordinator, basically the assistant to the person in the position I am now in. I am looking forward to the summer, but as I'm sure many of you can imagine, I am also a little fearful of what is going to be happening this summer. As the co-ordinator of program activities, I have to make sure that program runs smoothly and the campers have lots of fun and help the staff to maintain a positive, God-honouring environment. I'm so excited to be working with Larry and Cindy to build into children's lives and build up young people in the Lord. I have benefited from working at the camp for so long and being built up under strong Christian role models.
Please pray for the campers and staff as they prepare to come this summer. We still need male and female counsellors, an ORCKA instructor, Bible teachers and nurses. Just today we received the application for our head lifeguard for the summer! God answers prayer.
