Was it worth it? Would you do it again? I could never have put a price on this experience. I was truly blessed to have been able to live with such a community for six weeks. I learned more in that six weeks than I could have ever imagined. If God ever called me back I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment.

Do you still keep in touch? I do still keep in touch with my summer staffers, and one of my summer staffers is now the youth minister at my church!

Why should a college student apply to be a summer missionary at camp? This experience is special, it’s a very small commitment if you’re looking into a first mission experience. You are with 20 or so other college students from all over the U.S. (and sometimes other countries). The experience of having God penetrate your heart in a new way everyday is something I think is good for a young adult trying to explore life.
