oh my ..i can't wait till LIT this year and, God willing ,working there next summer. I've wanted to work at medley since the first time i went..i actually found my journal from that week and i had wrote that in it. i don't think god is going to change that desire any time soon.Camp medley has been my home so many of my greatest memories are from camp. And to think i didn't want to go the first time..haha
Although i've been a christian since i was really little it was after chapel when i was 9 that someone prayed for me and i decided to stop tagging along on my parents faith and make it my own and that day has changed my life forever!. It's camp people that have been like familly that have influenced me and formed part of who i am today.

And to add one more thing to the list
-you know your a true camp person when you attempt to run away TO camp medley in the fall.haha
and yes...i did ..i got to the end of the street and my daddy made me come home...Oh i wish i were 10 again.
