Emma's Camp Experience

Although I grew up at Camp of the Woods and was a camper for many years, being on staff has really impacted my life. I didn’t fully understand what a special place Camp was because it has always just been home to me. The first year I staffed I was expecting the summer to go exactly the same as previous summers, but it was totally different and changed my relationship with Christ. I experienced Christ and his presence in a way I never had before and grew in my relationship with Him. I learned how faithful he is and saw him working in the lives of the campers and staff around me which was amazing. I was able to share the gospel for the first time which was scary but the more I did it the more I learned to trust that the Lord was in control. It is such a joy to see how God can work in so many hearts throughout the summer. One of my favourite parts of being on staff is the morning devos. It's a great way to start the day and I was challenged and encouraged in a way that I hadn’t been before.
