The 3 days spent at Synergy had such an impact on me as an individual, as a part of a team and in my position of camp director. What I took away from this time of instruction, resourcing, brainstorming and sharing was more than I bargained for. Not only did I make life-long friends who share my love of camp (and yes even some of our frustrations), but I networked and resourced and left energized with new ideas that were tried and true. I also left this seminar feeling validated as a long-time camp director as to my vision, passion and direction in many things. We do not have to be an island as we plan and envision for camp – we can be a continent with a vast array of resources that will positively affect our ministry of reaching out to kids through camp.
