Two summer staff in the kitchen wearing the same "Happy Camper" hat is not a particularly unusual moment as weekend shopping trips often lead to additions to the wardrobe for our dedicated group that make the choice to live their summers here at BCC.
But these hats were a little different because they weren't newly purchased, they were from Summer 2021 when Natalie (on the right) was a first-year summer staff and Lindsay (on the left) was a senior camper.
Lindsay recounts the story, "I saw Natalie wearing it and when I got back from camp I saw it in the store and bought one. Then this summer I actually met her and we got close and it's just really amazing how a girl I thought had a cool hat one summer has now sparked a lifelong friendship."
Anyone connected with Bear Creek Camp knows our summer staff are our lifeblood. They are role models, leaders, professionals, and world-changers. They inspire the next generation and facilitate memorable experiences for all our campers each Summer.
As we enter Spring, in the midst of all our on-site preparations to be ready for summer camp, there's also an entire crew (and one that we're looking to expand - see below) of incredible young adults making their preparations for some of the most important months of their lives.
They are supported in this work by our entire community. Thank you for your prayers, your financial contributions, and for sending your campers to fill up their cabins!
