Ten More Reasons Why I Love Baker

Hello! 

 Recently I found out that I´ll be spending the summer at Mt TOP´s Camp Baker this summer (Mt. TOP also runs another camp about an hour away called Cumberland Pines). Although both camps run the same program for YSM SP (Youth Summer Ministry Service Project, the ministry I´ll be working with this summer), there are some special difference about each camp. Last year I also worked at Baker, and I wrote a blog post (click here to read it) about my top 10 reasons why I love Baker. Fortunately, I love Baker so much that I was able to come up with 10 more reasons in anticipation of this summer. Here you go!

Worship at the gates of Baker

1. We can sit at the tool shed in the morning and wave campers out of camp.

2. Worships at the camp gates are really cool.

3. Baker has a paint dungeon which is much better than the paint trailer at Pines.

4. We get to host a party for the whole staff called Baker Paradise every year.

All the trucks on their way to Baker!

5. I know the service area which means I know places I can take my staff for R&R.

6. We get the most reliable camp trucks because Ronnie (the guy who fixes the trucks) works at Pines.

7. Star-gazing on the hill.

8. It´s the only camp specifically built for Mt. TOP´s ministry.

9. Morning coffee on the Side Porch with all the early-risers.

Staff bonding in the Lodge

10. The living room and bedrooms in the Staff Lodge are all on one floor which encourages more staff bonding.

11. It´s where I´ve served for the past two summers and the place I most associate with Mt. TOP.








Ok, so the last one is kind of the same as last year so I gave you an extra. I´m so excited to be returning to Baker in a few shorts months to begin prepping for a new summer of campers!

All the best,
Stacy
