Hello, readers! My name is Vincient Keeling and I was one of the Program Coordinators for the summer of 2021. I have been attending this camp since a very young age, I was a camper then a CIT for two years, and a counselor in 2019 and was hired as a counselor in 2020. This past summer
was an amazing experience. The theme for the summer was Alleluia-- this means praise God.
This summer I had many ‘Alleluia’ moments that were very memorable. Some of these moments happened while serving campers, working with other staff members and some
occurred when I was alone. One of my big Alleluia moments was when I was working with a camper that had some behavioral problems and we sat down and talked about the issues that
the child was having and ways to fix it so that the week went along better for everyone involved.
While I was walking around with the child talking about different solutions to this issue I learned
why working at camp is so important not only to me, but to the children involved. Just in that
short conversation I had an affect on this child and the other children's week at camp. The
importance and impact that I had on this child's life might seem meaningless and insignificant to some, but I will always remember walking around for 30 minutes just listening and talking to this child.
Your interest and continued support of Alta Mons made this possible. My life has been
changed for the better because of Alta Mons. What happens on these 850 acres is amazing
and is a very unique experience. Thank you so much for the opportunity to serve God and these children.
