fter hearing all of the fun stories from her older sister Camp Gilead 2010 Staff
Karen, Heidi Edscorn Monroe couldn‘t wait to be old
A enough to attend Camp Gilead. She got her chance when
she was nine years old, and it was during that very first week
when Heidi realized that Jesus died for her. She was saved
Tuesday night after chapel services with her junior counselor
Elizabeth McBride. That was just the beginning of the tremen-
dous part that Camp Gilead would play in her life.
Heidi attended Camp Gilead as a summer camper for the next five years. She
also attended Bible studies in Lakeland over the years with camp workers Emily
Dewey and Holly Anderson, and completed the entire set of Bible lessons. When
Heidi was in junior high, she worked in the kitchen under Miss Hazel. At the
age of 14, Heidi was baptized in Lake Helene by her pastor. That year she
dedicated her life to do whatever the Lord would want of her. Heidi served as a
junior and senior counselor through high school and two years of college.
After graduating from nursing school, Heidi substituted as camp nurse for a few
weeks each summer as needed. In 1992, she spent the entire summer as camp
nurse. What a neat experience to give back to the camp that had played such a
role in her spiritual growth as a young person. Over the next 12 years, Heidi
volunteered as camp nurse each summer. Her family grew up spending each
summer out at Camp Gilead.
Matt, Heidi, Rachel, and Andrew have spent time working with summer camps Back: Ron Yeater, Ben Johnson, Matt Monroe, Joe Greer,
and retreats, performing house-keeping duties, writing policies, kitchen worker, Scott Simpson, Gary Simpson
counseling, maintenance, and helping wherever they were needed. The Monroe
family praises the Lord for the opportunity to serve God at Camp Gilead. Front: Sherry Yeater, Sandy Johnson, Heidi Monroe, Jill Johnson,
