We couldn't do it without them.
Our volunteer staff members are an integral part of the mission at Camp Gray. They run our facilitated programs during the school year including Environmental Stewardship and confirmation retreats, 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 bios of our volunteer staff for the 2006-2007 season.

Christopher Clyde Aderhold  comes to Camp Gray all the way from Oklahoma. (OK!) He attended Oklahoma State University and received his degree in Marketing. Chris was a counselor here on main camp as well as a wilderness programs counselor over the past two summers. His interests include: playing sports, hiking, canoeing, sipping on bottomless coffee with cream and sugar at Panera Bread in the company of fine people, and completing long road trips. (He once spent a week driving to Alaska.)

Camp Gray Retreat Team Staff Pat Andera joins us from Brookings, South Dakota where he attended South Dakota State University. He has been a long-time summer staff member here at camp (serving as a counselor, assistant cook, and operations assistant among other roles) and we are very excited to have him here throughout the school year. Pat is working this year as the Administrative Assistant, a huge help to the folks here in the office. During his free time, Pat enjoys watching and/or playing sports (and being quite competitive at it) and listening to music. Pat also has a talent for coordinating theme weeks during the summer.

Tim Chaptman  is from Oregon, Wisconsin and has been a camper and summer staff member here for many years. He is taking a break from his studies at Luther College (majoring in Biology and Political Science) to serve the year here at Camp Gray. Timmy is a man of many interests including: running, backpacking, tossing the frisbee, cooking, sports, and enjoying nature. Tim has a deep and profound knowledge of trees, which will come in handy as he leads his Environmental Stewardship hikes this year.

Volunteer Camp Staff Jules Launi hails from Charlottesville, Virginia (Yeah, Virginia!) and recently graduated from Mount Saint Mary's University (Go Mountaineers!) earning her degree in Theology. Jules has been a staff member here for two summers, serving as a counselor and the ministry specialist. During her free time, she enjoys reading, letting people make fun of her (she gives it back with the best of them), praying, throwing impromptu dance parties, asking burning questions, and being goofy from time to time. Jules manages to do all this despite the fact that she doesn't even have a middle name. (She's such a little trooper!)

"Do not grow slack in zeal; be fervent in spirit - serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, endure in affliction, persevere in prayer!"
           - Romans 12:11-12


Rachel Maxwell is is from Nashville, Tennessee and graduated from the University of Dayton with a degree in Communications (and a minor in English.) She lives by the credo that "good tunes, good people, and good weather all always equals good times." She enjoys spending time in God's creation, spontaneous adventures and roadtrips, and doing her part to sustain the environment. Future plans include: learning how to dive, winning a lot of game shows, and traveling the globe.

Theresa Wilks (or as she is sometimes know around here - Mo-T) comes to us from all the way from Mechanicville, New York. She graduated in May of 2007 from St. Thomas Aquinas College, after majoring in both Religious Studies and Philosophy. Mo-T enjoys playing guitar, reading, learning how to ski, making people laugh, and competition. She also has a passion for ministry. In fact, her ministry is not just limited to this continent. . .she went on a mission trip to Africa and sponsors a 12 year old girl who she met there. (They played basketball together, which happens to be the quickest way to Mo-T's heart.)

"Do not ask me to abandon you. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people and your God my God."
