good feedback on our intern position

the best lesson I learned was taking initiative on different projects.  Most jobs I have had, I would say I need/want this done, and someone else would do it or tell me what do do. I think this concept has helped me grow as a professional.

Being around and seeing how camp works from the logistical side of things is really neat.

why summer camp is important

Was just informed by a friend of a former camper's mother who is now following Jesus.

He told me that if COCUSA had left a bad taste in her mouth for "Christians".. she would have never turned to Chris.  Seems a bit prideful to say that about myself or my organization, but it was encouraging to hear from someone else.

Menards

I spend a lot of time at Menards...

A cashier just told me that her daughter came to "Camp COCUSA" a long time ago (not even sure when).. She appreciated the care we offered her child as she was a single mother

recruited by joy

One of our staff applicants from this summer .. when asked why she wanted to work at camp..

Basically she explained that it was because of the joy on the face of the her college roommate who worked at camp the year before.  She was so into camp because of her previous summer that her roommate couldn't help but apply!

disciple-making

Sending out the staff I've previously mentioned.. it almost seems like they might be able to run with it. so cool and exciting
