Arrogant monsters

From 1998 to 2006, I spent at least part of my summer at a Young Life camp.

In 1997, I had my first Young Life summer camping experience at Saranac Lake in upstate New York, and it changed my life. I went back two more summers as a camper, then two summers as a leader, two summers on summer staff, a summer as an intern and two years as full-time property staff.

Needless to say, I love Young Life camping and believe that it's an important evangelical tool.

I also got to have a lot of fun at Young Life camp. A lot of my best memories come from camp, and a lot of my favorite memories come from working with the program teams. One of my favorite parts of my job at Lake Champion was working with the program teams who came in in the summer. I'd often work on videos for them, as well.

I was blessed to work with a lot of talented and funny people and witness a lot of ridiculous situations. The video above is a video that was made with Gary Wilmer and Chris Geisler while I was a summer intern at Lake Champion in 2003. I hadn't seen this video in a while, but my friend Mark was able to find it and post it to Youtube. Gary's narration still cracks me up to this day.
