Growing in My Faith at Camp

Alexis' Story

The first time I stepped foot on Camp Pinnacle's campus in 2010, I knew it was a special place. I had the privilege of serving three summers as a staffer. Those precious summers, I learned so many lessons about God, myself, what it meant to be sisters in Christ, and places all over the world. God used camp to teach me how to rely on him and trust him with all things. I experienced firsthand what it looked like to serve him wholeheartedly: waking up early, cramming a million activities in, going to bed late and repeating it day after day. Even though the days were long, they filled me with so much joy because my sole purpose each day was to "create an environment where girls can experience God". Over the years, I had countless conversations with girls who wanted to become fully devoted to Christ, to live each day for him and tell others about him. These conversations challenged me and amazed me. We constantly prayed for God to reveal himself to our campers and he has always been faithful to change lives at Camp Pinnacle. He surely changed mine.Through camp I met some of my closest, dearest friends, and I found out about the college I transferred to and recently graduated from.

Most importantly, Camp Pinnacle taught me how to deeply love God and love others right here in Georgia, and support people doing the same thing around the globe. I am proud to be one of the hundreds of Camp Pinnacle alumni and I believe we can still play a big part in what happens there. We can pray for the staff and campers that God will continue to be faithful. We can also help fund girl's camp experiences and financially further his kingdom. God uses Camp Pinnacle to meet girls where they are and transform lives in order to use them in mighty ways. I urge you to get involved in the mission of Camp Pinnacle in any way you can, it is a special place where hundreds of girls seek Jesus and he faithfully draws his daughters to himself.

One thing I loved was getting to know the cabin leaders and staff. Even though they had different personalities, talents, and stories about how they came to Christ, it was obvious God brought them there for a purpose.
