New Staff Information

If you haven't yet noticed, the PVM staff website has been updated for this year. It has new dates and details, updated applications to download (for staff, junior staff, and returning staff), and new comments from campers, staff, and parents. Here are some choice morsels from the website to whet your appetite:

Camper Evaluations

"This was the first time at PVM and I absolutely FELL IN LOVE with the camp. I loved the activities and lessons, I made new friends, and I can’t wait until next year!"

-Jane
Summer 2003
Counselor: Esther

"I had a great time at PVM. It’s a great way of praising God and having fun at the same time. It was a so good way to meet new people. Thanks for making my birthday special. (PS. Hi Sam (A+) and Aaron (A+) Miss ya!)"

-Matt
Summer 2003
Counselors: Sam, Aaron, Ben, and Josh (L.I.T.)

Counselor Evaluations

Q: What did you value most about working at Pleasant Vineyard?
A: "RELATIONSHIPS – I remember the people the most. I am amazed at the awesome people who work here and can’t imagine never having the opportunity to meet them. I seriously want to know why the world doesn’t know about the Maynards, because I think their testimony is amazing."

–Lisa, 2003

Q: Do you feel you have grown in your walk with Jesus this summer? If so, how?
A: "YES!!! I know God is in the business of breaking down walls here. He did that with me. I’ve always complained about being stoic and my inability to express strong emotion. I laughed here more than I can remember in recent history and I cried for the first time in more than a decade."

–Mike Westwood, 2003

Parent Evaluations

"Courtney came home from camp a more enthusiastic and more committed Christian. She reads her Bible daily and writes in a journal capturing “The fingerprints of God.” She wants to become a PVM counselor when she gets older because 'PVM rocks!'"

-Courtney’s parents
Summer 2003
Counselors: Kim, Molly (L.I.T.), and Katie (L.I.T.)

"My son talked about his experience all the way home. Told us countless stories about the counselors, religious experiences, and sang every song over and over and over."

-Wil’s parents
Summer 2003
Counselors: Mike and Matt W.
