Camp Cho-Yeh is a place where God called to me to work at, it taught me the importance of stepping through adversity whenever it may come and if I didn’t remember that I was there for the kids and for the Kingdom of God then the adversity would have trampled over me but camp helped me not let that happen at all. Teaching the kids about who Jesus is and the importance of having a relationship with God really helped me to stay accountable in my own walk with Christ. Having great counselors to pour the Word of God on me constantly so that I may pour out the Word of God to the kids really helped grow my faith in Jesus.
I absolutely loved being in the cabin as a counselor! I’ve made so many great memories with the kids I will never forget! The kids brought so much encouragement for me each week and they truly made my summer really awesome!
Something that impacted me the most was seeing God not only work through the counselors to campers, but also through the friendships campers formed with each other. I remember specifically with my first week of campers two girls who became very close through the course of the week. One of them was absolutely on fire for God and desired to deepen and grow her relationship. God used her to be a light to her friend and I saw incredible growth and change in that camper. This had nothing to do with what we did as counselors, but the friendship she formed and we had the joy of watching God work.
Camp can definitely be exhausting both physically and emotionally, but it was one of the most rewarding experiences. It was a summer of growth in my relationship with God as well as awe of what He did in the lives of those there. It is such a unique and special experience that I would definitely do again if given the opportunity.
