      Hey there, This Talking Tuesday post will look different than we've seen these past few weeks. We have gotten to know some board members and some of our permanent staff and this week is no different in that respect - we will get to know our Food Services Manager, Ken Underwood, who has worked in his position for almost 18 years.  This week will look different though, as this is Ken's last Spring and Summer at Evergreen. He and his family have made the decision to move on as they feel God's calling taking them elsewhere. It has been such a privilege, for those of us at Camp, to watch what the Lord is doing in Ken's life these past months as He has begun equipping Ken in different areas for future ministry.   I have had the opportunity to work with Ken in different settings throughout my 4 years at Camp - as a regular seasonal staff, almost 2 years as his assistant, and most recently, working alongside Ken, administratively, throughout Evergreen-to-go and Guest Grou

     Hey there, Last week I wrote about the rain that has started to fall, and let me tell you, it sure has continued! The mud has continued to accumulate and we are looking forward to sunny days to dry it up - but for now we thank the Lord for the rain that our pastures definitely need!  Today, we're continuing our Talking Tuesday Series when we take some time to introduce you to the people that keep Camp running all year long. So, grab your hot beverage of choice, take a seat, and get to know our Executive Director, Courtney Armstrong: How long have you worked at/been connected camp?   I have never been a camper at Evergreen but I have been connected with Evergreen since 1999. I worked five summers as a spring/summer staff (wrangler, out-trips director, Head Cabin Leader, Assistant Program Director) then I started working in January 2005 as a permanent staff member. This summer will be my 21st summer at Evergreen. How l

    Hey there, The rain has finally decided to fall out here at Camp and when you mix that with the current construction, we have A LOT of mud. I'm pretty sure that if I went out to certain spots, the mud would go halfway up to my knees... BUT Praise the Lord: The rain means our fields will be turning green and be ready for our horses and the construction means our septic system is being updated!  Today, we're continuing our Talking Tuesday Series when we take some time to introduce you to the people that keep Camp running all year long. So, grab your hot beverage of choice, take a seat, and get to know Board Member, Kim Guenter: How long have you worked at/been connected camp?   My first summer was 2006... so 15 years this summer. Mostly I’ve worked in the barn, or ran the old trails away out trip, and WTP program, or have supported the girls with the horse program throughout the years. But I have also been the camp nurse a few times and even a cabin leader once.  How lon
