Crossroads/Vision Camp

July 2015| NWTX Annual conference

In 2014 and 2015 I directed a conference wide youth summer camp for 250+ students. Crossroads (Jr. High) and Vision (High School) were week long camps that shared worship times and themes, but had different schedules, lessons, and activities. My fellow director and I set the schedules, managed volunteers (25+), planned and implemented activities, planned worship, edited curriculum (based on Orange), assigned housing, managed the budget, and organized logistics. 

2015 was particularly memorable because during our week of camp the canyon flooded. We had to change several activities and plans, and at one point even faced a possible evacuation. Despite these circumstances we had an incredible camp. Students had a blast and several proclaimed having their faith dramatically impacted. This experience helped me grow in leadership and adaptability while reminding me of the centering power of God in the midst of a crisis.
