I spent my summers growing up at a summer camp, on Lake Lure, in the North Carolina mountains. We recently had a banquet honoring 60 years of camping at this camp! Before the banquet, I was interviewed for a video they were putting together. One of the questions asked was "What has Camp Lurecrest meant to you?" My answer: "Everything".
Chapel still looks the same...except no sawdust floor now!!

Spending my summers there, first as a camper, then as a staff member, and in recent years as a volunteer in the kitchen and office, has molded and shaped my life into what it is today. It is at camp that I met my savior and it is at camp that I learned about His grace. I have lifelong friends that I met at camp. If you've ever been on staff at a summer camp, you know the bond that develops working together 24/7!
Yeh, I know, camp makes you do crazy things!!!

View from Chapel
I am so very thankful for my humble beginnings and for the Lord meeting me right where I was. My life was and is in His hands. He used Camp Lurecrest as a means to my heart. I am forever blessed!

The view from the chapel and boat dock are both unbelievable. Such an incredible reminder of God's power. Wish I had grown up there!
Its Leslie, Mrs. Angela! You are so right Camp is an amazing place. It is a tool that God used in my life. It was at camp that I learned what true FAITH and TRUST really is. There I was stripped of everything... and realized God loves me for me and nothing else! Thank you to you and your family for allowing me to experience such a place that so largely changed my life! This blog brought a smile to my face that has been much needed! Love u guys!!
