At each region, our summer staffers gathered to kick the year off together. Hear from our program teams on how it went and take a look at some highlights of the first annual Pine Cove staff conference!
“It was so encouraging for staff to be together as the new year started! Just the concept of spending time with one another was uplifting, and you could just sense that everyone loved being together! Staff got to experience the FlowRider with heated water for the first time ever! We had never run it during the winter before, but people really enjoyed it! Shoutout to our ops team for getting the water heated for us! Having Jack Blocker play a concert for us was amazing! He’s such a talented artist and performer, and you could also tell he loved being in the camp setting! It was also just fun to get to know Kate’s brother. He’s awesome!” – Colin “Sneaky Pete” Post, Ridge Men’s Director
“I loved Staff Con! SO! MUCH! FUN! Staff showed up and getting to host them all with my best friends was awesome! My favorite part was the breakout sessions! Every youth camp’s men/women director led one. I loved talking to my staffers about whose breakout they went to and was so encouraged to hear that my staffers were being loved and cared for by some of my closest friends. It was awesome. I also got to lead the free time activity, vision boards, and it was so fun—we all had a great time!” – Remedy “Bo-V” Applegate, Ranch Women’s Director
“It was awesome to see staff be able to rest and feel like campers! They got to have fun at camp without having to run it. They were poured into and refreshed going into the new year.” – Alex “Licks” Barnholdt, Crier Creek Men’s Director
“Staff Con was AWESOME! It was sweet to get to serve our staff and help put on a conference that encourages them to keep being faithful in their walk with the Lord going into the new year. I loved that we got good intentional time to just hang with our staff and let them be the focal point.” – Emmanuel “Cloudy” Muyia, Woods Men’s Director
“We had the best time with our team at Renew! One highlight was getting to sit with our staff at meals and reflect on what they were learning in the sessions! Also, we played a Silverado team game of group charades which was so much fun! Here’s a pic of the winning team!” – Kylie “Bonsho” Witcher, Silverado Women’s Director
“Staff Conference was incredible. The Lord blessed it! It was such a blessing to get to bless our staff. We got to see staff that we don’t normally get to see and hear what the Lord was doing in their hearts and how He was teaching them how to have more of an undivided heart. My favorite part was just that: getting to hear from staff and have conversations about how the Lord was actively teaching them how to have an undivided heart for Him! It was incredible to hear and witness, not just for our staff but for me as well!” – Josh “Flynn Slider” Green, Ranch Men’s Director
“Staff Conference was awesome! A highlight for me was seeing staffers get to be refreshed by time in the Word! I was thankful for a space for their hearts to be renewed!” – Annelise “Smilin” Morrison, Silverado Camp Director
