Summer Staff Visit WCRC While on Spring Break

We had a nice visit from two of our wonderful summer camp staff ladies: Amy Duncan and Chelsey Stertz. They are students at Liberty University and they are on Spring Break. In the picture from left to right: Jessica Lane, Chelsey Stertz, Amy Duncan, Jenn Hill and Britany Lyon.

Blessings from Muhlenberg PA

Wow, we just had a group of college students here from Muhlenberg College in PA. They were part of a campus ministry called Disciplemakers. Instead of spending their Spring Break at the beach, they came here to serve! As a result of their visit, the pool is clean (no small thing), we have large stacks of firewood at 4 locations, cabins 3 and 4 now have hurricane clips and the construction site has never been cleaner. They worked in the kitchen, they helped us move tables and they were fantastic servants. Thank You Disciplemakers!!

Gators and the Gospel

Support Staff are the folks that make camp work. From setting up the water slide to delivering the afternoon snack to making sure the mist field is working, Support Staff are behind the scenes making it all happen. Sure, it's a lot of sweat and hard work, but you get to drive the Gator, and more importantly, at the end of the day, you have the satisfaction of knowing that the campers had a super-fun day that could not have happened without your help. Not only that, but it's during those fun activities that counselors are building relationships with campers. And it's in the context of those relationships that the gospel is communicated and received; and a new life in Christ is born! Want a job with a purpose? Apply now for a summer camp job at WCRC!

Jesus and Balloons

Camp wouldn't be the same without archery. The campers like it and the staff enjoy teaching it. What some people probably don't know is that archery is a perfect place to share the gospel. When a group of campers is finished with their activity (which includes trying to pop balloons) the counselor takes the group to two hay bail targets. On one we show the normal human life: always missing the mark. We're sinful. On the other a perfect bulls-eye: Jesus who lived a sinless life. Then we connect the two with a wooden cross showing how Jesus' death on the cross is our way to cross over from death to life. We end with a simple question: have you crossed over?

Archery is one of many memorable activities at camp that we tie to a spiritual message to make an eternal impact.
