Top Ten Reasons Why I Love Camp Baker

During the summer, Mt. TOP actually runs out of two camps, Camp Pines and Camp Baker. This summer I'll be working at Camp Baker, and I couldn't be happier. Although Pines has it's own benefits (like a big field to play games), I'm truly a Baker Lover. So in celebration of the wonderful Camp Baker, I thought I'd do a Top 10 list of why it's my favorite out of the two camps.

1.  I get to live in the beautiful staff lodge which has a huge porch and is conveniently attached to our staff office.

2. The awesome Baker kitchen staff.

3. Nine-square and volleyball are so much more exciting when there's the threat that a loose ball may go rolling down the mountain.

4. The Side Porch is perfect for playing Octoball.

5. The gorgeous Worship Center surrounded by trees.

6. The camper cabins have bathrooms inside of the cabins rather than in a separate building, which makes the campers happy. Happy campers=happy staff!

7. Everything is close together. The Pavilion and Dining Hall are attached to each other.

8. Physically being on the edge of a plateau makes all the references to the "mountain top" seem even more relevant.

10. It's the camp I attended when I was a camper, so it's filled with great memories from past years.


13 more days until I'm on the mountain!

All the best,
