While visiting the Twin Lakes Bible Camp in Twin Lakes Iowa, the Launch students were to ask four questions to the camp director. These are my four questions and reasons for asking them.
First, I was curious to receive the view of another camp director on being in this ministry. I asked Scott, what has been the hardest part of being in camp ministry? He told me that so many times camp has been invasive towards his family and out of camp life. Scott loves working at Twin Lakes camp, but being involved with camp pulls him away from personal time sometimes.
The second question I asked Scott was, is the summer staff paid or does it volunteer without pay? I know some camps can not afford to pay a summer staff. Scott told me that they do get paid similar to what Hidden Acres summer staff receives.
The third question that came to mind was, what is the biggest reason campers come to Twin Lakes camp? Scott explained that families that have been involved with camp have been sending their kids for years. He said that new kids that come hear about camp and are interested in the lake and other activities.
The last question I asked Scott was, what has been a situation where you have seen God move this last year at camp? He told me that he saw the Lord working on the summer staff. Scott said he saw a maturity in the staff through healthy relationships. I always love hearing how the Lord works at camps.
