Hello everyone! I was one of the Program Coordinators this summer. It is a position of great responsibility, and a new experience for me. My main goal was to head off problems before they occurred. Then, when they did occur, I would have a solution as fast as possible. I always had to think three steps ahead which is what Meredith told all the coordinators to do this summer. This summer’s theme, Alleluia, connected directly to the feelings of finally getting campers back to camp. We focused on finding moments throughout the summer where we were praising God. I had countless Alleluia moments this summer, and I want to let you know of a few significant ones for me. My biggest Alleluia moment for me was bringing my mountain bike to camp. My bike allowed me to get everywhere so much faster and to get so much more done around camp. Alta Mons is over 800 acres, and as Program Coordinator I seemingly have to be everywhere at once. I love to ride my bike outside of camp so, it was a no-brainer to bring it to camp. Plus I got so many skits and nicknames from riding the bike around camp. I felt so much love this summer.
Another Alleluia moment for me was getting to photograph unit photos. In 2019, I was the Media Coordinator, so it was an honor to pick up my camera again and photograph the smiling faces of all the campers for another summer.
A third Alleluia moment that I experienced this summer was every time I told a Willie Jack story. I have always enjoyed listening to Willie Jack stories. These are short stories about the resident honest and hard worker of Alta Mons, as well as his adventures. Only Program Coordinators get to tell these tales on tractor rides. It has been a goal of mine ever since I was a counselor to tell these stories to campers, and this summer I was finally able to really do it. This summer was a great return to camp. I enjoyed every moment and felt like I truly had a positive impact on these campers. I learned so much about leadership such as keeping communication at the forefront of my mind and being open for people to talk to when they may need my support. I love that I was able to spend my summer at Camp Alta Mons.
