We couldn't do it
without them.
Our volunteer Outdoor Ministry Team members are an integral part of the mission at Camp
Gray. They run our facilitated programs during the school year including
confirmation retreats and Environmental Stewardship, they write the weekly email
devotions, they assist us in the office with camp administration, and help us
develop new programs. We are in their debt. Below are pictures and short bios of our
volunteer staff for the 2009-2010 season.
If you are interested in learning more about becoming a part of the OMT at Camp Gray, please visit our Volunteer Program page or call us at 608-356-8200. You can apply to be a part of the Camp Gray Outdoor Ministry Team using our Online Volunteer Application >>

Amanda Boshell is
no stranger to the 225 breathtaking acres that make up the holy ground of
Camp Gray. Along with being a long time camper here at camp, she
also served on the kitchen crew as a part of our summer staff back in
2005! While Amanda hails from nearby Lodi, WI, she attended Northern
Michigan University where she earned a degree in Physical Geography
(oftentimes this major is thought to be the study of state capitals, but
on the contrary, Physical geography is that branch of science which deals
with the study of processes and patterns in the natural environment like
atmosphere, biosphere and geosphere (yes, this means Amanda is going to
rock our Environmental retreats!)).

Chris Briggs
of Richfield, WI, counts as one of his greatest life accomplishments the
opportunity to compete on the exciting television show, "The American
Gladiators." Unfortunately, a broken leg on the 'Eliminator'
prevented him from bringing home the coveted American Gladiator gold
medal. Another of Chris' talents is making up really good stories
about himself. Speaking of Chris' talents, he is a successful
juggler, photographer, and laugher, all of which will go far in him
dominating retreats over the course of the next 9 months! "Choose Joy" - Gary Chadwick Bailey |

Kevin Cannon
- a rookie to the Camp Gray scene - hails from the UFO capital of the
east; Pine Bush, New York! When Kevin isn't ripping up the floor
with his mad fiddle playing skills, he enjoys sitting in gardens and
pondering all things cultivated. Also, Kevin enjoys hiking and
grooving to Jamaican music - past and present. Kevin is a graduate of
the State University of New York - New Paltz (Go Hawks!), and worked hard
to earn himself a degree in Linguistics. We're certainly excited to
see Kevin in action this year!

Renata Kingsbury
may be new to Camp Gray, but she
isn't new to living in the woods, as Renata comes to us all the way from
Warroad, MN (home of the 1978 Minnesota high school state champion
football team - Go Warriors!). Hunting, fishing, and watching sports
can be counted as some of Rentata's favorite pastimes, and when she isn't
participating in these hobbies, she can usually be found reading a good
book.
"Somebody should tell us, right
at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to
the limit, every minute of every day. There are only so many
tomorrows."
- Pope Paul VI |

Pat Schindhelm
who attributes his success as a
human to a high consumption of both bacon and coffee (see photo), comes to
camp all the way from Madison, WI! Pat graduated from the University
of Wisconsin - Clap & Point in 2008 with degrees in Marketing and
Economics. After graduating from college, and before joining us at
camp, he spent a year as a lawn gnome salesman (which is my guess as to
why there is a lawn gnome currently in the Camp Gray office). When
Pat isn't impacting the lives of children at Camp Gray, he enjoys watching
and playing sports, and is always in the mood for a good book. |
