An interview with Makala Willette (Interviewer Jackson Thompson)
JT:
“Tell me about what your position on Summer Staff is.”
MW:
“I am the Summer Store Manager and this is my second year in that position of the five that I have been on Summer Staff. I keep the store organized, stocked and well-run as well as prepping T-shirts and Hoodies for the campers before they come.”
JT:
“What is one thing that God has taught you while on Summer Staff?”
MW:
“I think He’s been teaching me to rely on His love and power while I work. I find it really easy to burn out during the summer. You get exhausted and you run out of strength if you don’t trust in the Lord.”
JT:
“What kind of person would you recommend Summer Staff for?”
MW:
“I would recommend Summer Staff to someone who is looking to serve the Lord in a unique atmosphere. Someone who is willing to be challenged and stretched and not afraid of that, because I guarantee that will happen. That’s the kind of person Summer Staff is for.”

An interview with William Gressman
JT:
“What is your position and number of years on Summer Staff?”
WG:
“This is my second year on Summer Staff. My job this year is to be the Summer Secretary and that entails working with registration, manning the phones and calling people for pre-check in, which is a new procedure specifically for this year.”
JT:
“What drew you to Summer Staff this year?”
WG:
“After last year’s Summer Staff, I felt that God was calling me to be here over as many summers as I could while I’m in college. I was disappointed to find out in the spring that finances were not going to work out for the summer, but, before I made a final decision, my college sent me a check for part of next year’s tuition. It was enough for me to come to camp for the summer, so God provides and now I can be here.”
JT:
“What is your favorite thing about camp and why?”
WG:
“Probably that I get to be around such awesome people all summer. That’s definitely my favorite part. Everyone is here because God has called them here and they want to serve people and God through camp. You tend to find a lot of awesome people here because were all just trying to follow God’s calling in our lives.”
