Leaders

The best part of camp for me is hanging with the group of leaders, many of whom I've developed close friendships with over the past 10 years. We've seen each grow, mature (only slightly), get married and have kids over time.

The group has grown as leaders have been raised up from within the group and added other leaders into the relationship. It is such a fantastic group of people, all with a similar sarcastic sense of humor, love for kids and love for God. I love having the new leaders coming out of high school in our group get to see this group of leaders and how they relate.

Mark Butler, on the left, raised up a slew of leaders here as a youth pastor. He's a junior high youth pastor who has done and seen everything out there in youth ministry. He raised up guys like Tim and Jason and he's the COO of our camp.
