I
began attending Camp Ta-Pa-Win-Go as a 5-year-old day camper in Johnson County.
However, it was the time I spent at camp as a teenager (both as a camper and on junior staff)
that impacted my life the most. I heard lessons from God's Word that challenged me to follow
Him completely and whole-heartedly with no reservations. I was 15-years-old when the Lord
called me to missions, and the things I learned at camp helped solidify my commitment to serving
Him. It was also at camp that I learned more fully how to apply Biblical principles to everyday life.

At camp, I had peers who were from very different backgrounds than I was from. I was not only
exposed to many different denominations and theological views, I was exposed to other kids who
have very different home lives - some who had very difficult situations to deal with. Being friends
with, and counselor to these children not only broadened my worldview and my understanding of
other people, but it made me walk with the Lord more closely, seeking His wisdom to try to help
these people.

After every summer, I would go home a changed person - hopefully a bit older and wiser for the things experienced, the challenges faced,
and the lessons learned. I know that the Lord called me to be an overseas missionary, but if I wasn't so sure of that, I would be working in a
camp ministry because I know how huge of an impact it can have in the lives of children and teenagers. I know that I still have much to learn
and many ways in which to grow, but I also know that I would not be the person that I am today if not for the ministry of Camp Ta-Pa-Win-
Go and the missionaries who have faithfully served there for so many years. Praise God for camp!
