This is a question that is frequently asked of college students. Summer plans are very important and many students stress out about what to do between the four months of freedom we are given between semesters.
I am very glad to inform you that I will be spending all four months at Red Rock Bible Camp.
Now although this may not be the most financially responsible decision for a college student to make, I can't think of a better place to spend the next four months of my life. Red Rock has helped shape me as a person over the last three summers through their Counselor-In-Training program as well as being a staff member, and I love being so much. It has become almost like a second home to me.
What will I be doing over the next two months? Well, for starters, for the first two months my job is working on the maintenance crew. We are made up of five summer staffers and our job is to maintain the camp for two months. This could range anywhere from cleaning up after outdoor ed and retreat groups to getting the camp ready for summer by doing odd jobs that are assigned to us. Our crew is great and we work quite well together.
For the next two months I will be spending most of my weeks in the cabin, working directly with kids as a counselor. This has been one of the most growing experiences I have had at Red Rock. While our job is to teach the kids about the Bible and being a Christian, I have found that so often I am the one who seems to be learning the most. It is incredible to see how much you learn about yourself and the Bible when you are instructed to teach it to others.
That is a short glimpse of what I will be doing this summer. Although I cannot wait to get back to school in the fall (yes, I'm turning into a bit of a nerd), I am quite excited for these next four months and can't wait to see what God has in store for everyone at Red Rock.
