Hey Y’all! My name is Billy Ferguson, and I am from Roanoke, Virginia. This is my fourth summer working at Alta Mons. Two summers as a counselor and this summer will be my second as the Media Coordinator. I graduated from George Mason University this spring majoring in Film and Video Studies. I am so excited to return to camp! There are so many opportunities for great stories at camp, and as Media Coordinator I get to document them in photos and video.
My favorite thing about summer camp is that you are able to fully embrace nature. When I am on camp property, I feel as if I am receiving a big leafy hug from the outdoors itself. It’s just great being able to get back to the basics and enjoy living in the moment. Alta Mons is a place where life moves a little slower. I recall being on a wagon ride and looking up into the night sky. The night sky was crystal clear when suddenly a shooting star zapped into the air. Its white streak was extremely visible. Everyone in the wagon caught a glimpse of the star’s tail. Even though it only lasted for a second, I remember feeling like it happened in slow motion. Moments like this are the reason I love Alta Mons. It happened in the Back 400 where camp is the darkest. Anywhere else the star would have been too dim to see due to street lights and other distractions. When living in the moment, you get to appreciate the little things that God gives us.
Yours in Home in the Woods Wagon Rides,
Billy Ferguson
