Camp News HIGH HILL CHRISTIAN

WOMEN’S WEEKEND

Save the dates for our relaxed, coffee house

style 2020 Women's Weekend—Feb. 28-29.

We will hear from ladies from different stages

and walks of life and see how we can all find

common ground in Jesus. Pre-registrations

will begin in January at highhillcamp.org.

At last year’s banquet, we

tore down two of our older

buildings in order to begin

our We Believe expansion.

We are very pleased to let

you know that since then,

we have been moving

steadily forward. We would

like to take this opportunity

to invite you and your family

out to High Hill to see the

progress being made. Please

make plans to join us

Sunday, October 6th from

3:00-7:00 pm for our open

house and celebration

banquet. Dinner will be

provided at 5:30 pm, and a

short informational meeting

will follow.

Every summer we hire high school, college age, and even a few adult staff to help us run

camp full time. This team works tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure that our

campers have the best experience possible. They model Christ’s example of not to be

served, but to serve, and they do it without complaining. We seriously could not make

camp happen without these people. If you know any of them personally, please let them

know how much they are appreciated! Full-time Staff: Marley Butler, Brian Glore, John

Hancock, Lori Hancock; Activities Coordinator: Carrie Morrow; Activities Assistant:

Hannah Finley; Facilities Assistants: Demetrius Coleman, Ben Glore; Kitchen Staff:

Karlie Follmer, Bethany Glore, Chandra Hubbs, Nick Vaughn, Trisha Waters; Lifeguards:

Clayton Lynch, Christian Marble, Micah Ritz, Isaac Vilchis; Medic: Josh Waters.

MISSIONS UPDATE The mission this summer for camp was

the camp itself. The campers were able

to give toward the We Believe campaign

and see firsthand how their giving

impacts the future. The monies given

helped build our third log cabin (left).

Construction began in August and interior

construction begins this month. Praise

God for His blessings!

The grand total that was raised this

summer was $9,219.12!

During each session of camp, campers and sponsors spent missions time learning about the We Believe

projects, and how the camp’s growth is beneficial to the Kingdom. They also spent time writing Scripture on

the foundation walls of the new cabin and spent time praying over the site of Oak Lodge.

We would like to say a quick “thank

you” to some people who helped

make camp possible this summer.

First of all, our deans—thank you for

your planning and hard work to

make your session of camp a

success. Thank you for letting God

use you to impact the lives of

campers. You make our job easy.

SUPER CELEBRATIONS!

We had 19 baptisms at camp

this summer

BECOME

This summer our campers

learned more about what it

means to BECOME more like

Jesus. Many campers studied

the life of David while others

learned about the way our

lives are like a seed that needs

to become a thriving plant. It

seems like every summer we

say this, but this summer was

truly our best summer yet.

We have already begun

planning for 2020, and we

can’t wait to tell you all about

it. We will be publishing dates

in October so that you can get

those on your calendars.

Make sure to like & follow us

on Facebook so you don ’t miss

out on the announcements.

In May, Joe & Brenna Friend left High Hill to accept

positions with St. Louis Christian College. We are

pleased to announce that in August, we were able

to hire Josh Waters to take over the maintenance

position. Both Josh and his wife, Trisha, have been

long time supporters of

the camp—both have

served as summer staff

in a medical capacity.

Most recently, Josh was

our medic for this past

summer and did a

phenomenal job. Josh

has always stepped in and helped out with

anything that needed done while he was here at

camp, so it was a logical jump to hire him as our

maintenance manager. Josh and Trisha officially

moved out to the camp in August, although,

technically they never left after arriving in May.

Their two daughters, Hannah (14) and Sarah (10)

are attending Montgomery County schools and

they are all members of Wentzville Christian

Church. We are very excited to have Josh on staff,

as well as Trisha helping out when and where she is

able. Please help us welcome them to the High Hill

Christian Camp family!
