5 days. That's it! Only five days until the first group of buses roll in to SharpTop Cove for the first week of summer camp. Excitement is in the air here at camp as we anticipate ten weeks straight of high school students from all over the southeastern United States coming to have "the best week of their life!"
In preparation for all these buses to come in, we had about 200 volunteers last week join our staff to work on various projects in landscaping, construction, cleaning, etc. to get camp to a condition of excellence before Sunday. This week the work continues for our staff as we finish the projects that were started last week and continue training for our roles as interns this summer.
It really is amazing how many people are involved in making a camp like this run smoothly during the summer time. There is a total of 19 interns here this summer: 4 in ropes, 4 in the kitchen (one of the four will also help in maintenance too), 2 in retail, 2 health officers, 1 lifeguard, 1 sound tech, 1 videographer, 1 bikes wrangler, 1 guest services host, 1 housekeeper, and 1 office intern. All of us will be interacting in one way or another with work crew, summer staff, and assigned team staff as we set up high school students to encounter Jesus Christ.
So, just a few more days remain before all the pieces are in place. Be praying for our staff as we prepare for these groups to arrive at our property. Pray for leaders as they get ready to spend a week with kids they have been building relationships with over the past few weeks, months, or years. And, finally be praying for kids as they arrive at Sharptop, begin to let their walls down, and engage leaders' challenge to trust and pursue Jesus.
