spring staff have taken over!

Spring has really begun here at Camp Evergreen. It’s wonderful to see things growing again! The snow is gone, and things are greening up. It's a beautiful time to be out in God's creation!

The real indication that spring has arrived at Camp Evergreen, however, is the arrival of the seventeen new members of our staff team! We’ve assembled a fantastic Spring Staff team, and they've been working hard for a month now. Each person represents a different set of God-given gifts and talents, and a different point of view. We meet regularly for devotions, led by a different staff member every morning. We pray for each other and keep each other accountable. The community that develops among the spring staff is like no other! 

The spring staff are mostly responsible for hosting the guest groups that come through Camp Evergreen during May and June. This involves leading activities and games, preparing meals, and making sure that camp stays clean and beautiful. As well, the members of this summer’s program team (Courtney, Ashley, Reilly, and Bradley) are busy planning exciting new games and programming for summer camp in July and August. 

When there are no groups on site, we've been working at getting rid of fallen trees around activity sites. 
  
Our staff come from all over western Canada, including Olds, Airdrie, Calgary, Lethbridge, Edmonton, Saskatoon, and even Qualicum Beach on Vancouver Island! Many members of our spring staff team are currently students who have in the past year studied at the University of Calgary, University of Lethbridge, Ambrose University College, Briercrest College and Seminary, Millar College of the Bible, Praire Bible College, Trinity Western University, and Bodenseehof Bible School in Germany. Two of our staff members participated in YWAM programs in Chile and New Zealand.Wow!

For those of you keeping score, there are now nineteen seasonal and six management staff members around Camp Evergreen these days.

And so, a big Camp Evergreen welcome to Alana, Ashley, Bradley, Brayden, Chelsea, Cody (joining us in June), Felicity, Josie, Kathrin, Lacey, Liz, Nate, Reilly, Sarah, Stephanie, Taylor, and Val!

The spring staff even like to spend their evenings off together, like here, roasting marshmallows at Courtney's new fire ring.
