Amanda's Camp Experience
The first time I came to COTW was during Mission Week while I was in highschool. Besides the beautiful and calm setting of the camp, God drew me back again the next summer. Although I was never able to serve during the Camper's weeks, I had always desired to return.
In 2023, I was excited to finally be able to return AND bring my teenage kids!! It was amazing to see my kids connect with the rest of the summer staff. That summer my boys caught the same love and joy while serving the Lord at Camp. Last summer, I was able to go and serve for six weeks with my boys! I was even able to learn a few of the camper's names by the end of each week.
I love the way the summer staff ships in and helps wherever there is a need. I woke up with a bad sinus headache one day, but everyone chipped in and helped where I could not.
My favorite part of camp is watching the video of all the fun the kids had throughout the week. This will be the fourth summer for me to bring at least one of my boys up to serve at Camp of the Woods this summer.
