A
Word From Our Camp Director...
". .. The harvest
truly is great, but the laborers are few;
therefore
pray the Lord of the
harvest
to send out laborers into His harvest. "
Luke
10:2
The Harvest
There is a great field of children at Camp Good News®
every summer.
And every summer God grants a "great harvest". The need today is the
same
as it was in Jesus' day - laborers. The solution is the same - ask the
Lord of the harvest to provide needed staff.
We are
praying for
staff.
Will you come to camp for a week? You
will
be tired by the
time
it is over, but what a good and rewarding "tired" it will be. I do
enjoy
seeing camp staff find God's grace and God's strength sufficient for
them
day by day. I enjoy their fellowship as friendships are made that last
a lifetime. I thank Him that those who serve are truly laying up
treasures
in heaven.
For Families
For families, there is even a daily camp program for staff children
who are under camper age. Did you know that for every parent who serves
as staff, a camper comes for free? And, of course, there is no charge
for
staff or for children who are not yet camper age.
Volunteers
are a
BLESSING
For the past forty years Camp Good News has been staffed primarily
by volunteers. Approximately 300 adults and teens serve with us each
summer.
What a blessing it is to see folks serve out of love for the Lord and
their
desire to minister to children through sacrificial service and
fellowship
with other Christians across the state. Their lives are enriched and
blessed.
Lord willing, I hope to see you here.
In
Christ,
John Romano Camp Director

"ME...A COUNSELOR?"
To a camper, the most important person at camp is
a
CAMP
COUNSELOR!
We have a SENIOR and JUNIOR COUNSELOR in each cabin of 6 - 8 children.
We desire that the Senior Counselor be a "mom" or "dad." Many parents
come
and serve in this capacity. Our college students and high school
seniors
are a wonderful addition to the senior counseling staff, We prefer our
Junior Counselors to be at least fifteen years of age. Some counselors
are assigned to the staff children that are too young to be campers.
Pray
about being a part of the counseling staff. <>
"COME AND GET IT"
Good food is a must! Our kitchen is
supervised by
a qualified
HEAD COOK. HELPERS who can bake, peel vegetables, and give general
assistance
to the cook serve faithfully throughout the week. DISHWASHERS make up a
vital part of our kitchen staff. Men, women,
and teens all enjoy working in these capacities! A DINING ROOM HOSTESS
and several WAITRESSES are also needed weekly. <>
"CAMPERS WILL BENEFIT FROM YOUR
SKILLS"
A REGISTERED NURSE is needed each week. A WATER
SAFETY INSTRUCTOR is required along with qualified LIFE GUARDS.
ACTIVITY LEADERS for outdoor living, riflery, canoeing, archery,
sports,
handcrafts, etc. help campers develop or learn new skills. The nature
program
needs expertise to help the children appreciate God and His wonderful
creation. Two qualified BIBLE TEACHERS train children in God's Word
each week. <>
"MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK"
Each week some men serve on the MAINTENANCE CREW
helping
with the
general repair and upkeep of the grounds as well as the building
projects. TRADING POST WORKERS run our camp store and sometimes our
errands.
There is service for everyone!

Feedback from
Staff...
A pastor who
served as a counselor
writes:
"The week sharpens my focus on evangelism. I always find I am better
equipped to serve my church after coming to Camp Good News®"
A mother who
served as a counselor
writes:
"Throughout the week the Lord reminded me of His promises as I shared
His love with campers. I did not feel the tiredness, though I was
warned
it would happen toward the end of the week. Instead, my heart is
bubbling
over with joy of another opportunity of serving Christ. "
A college student writes:
"Being a mom to eight girls was a blast. We all grew together and I
learned how to depend more on God to give me answers to their questions
instead of trying to answer them on my own. "
Jesus, the
wonderful counselor,
said.
"
- - In as much as you did it to one of the least of
these my brethern,
you did it unto Me."
Matthew 25:40 |
