Camp Staff Scholarships

BY PASTOR CASSANDRA

I am a product of outdoor ministry. I spent m summers in college working for Lutherans Outdoors in South Dakota. At the time I don t think ever considered how much money I could make if had a non-camp ob, but as I have become wiser I recognize the dispar ty between working a $15 an hour job for 40 hours a week over the summer Most summer camp staff make ha f of that Of course th reap a ton of benef ts over flipping burge at the loca eatery but co lege ife still co them the same amount of money Last summer we started giving students that a act ve at the ULC a scho arsh p at the completion of their summer work ng at an ELCA camp Our counci initia y sa d $50 but the generosity of oca congregations al owed us to doub e that! We gave FIVE scholarships of $1,000 each. Th s year we have seven camp staff n total, and FOUR e gible scholarsh p app icants. Can you h us gift them each with $1,000 scholarships at the end of their summer serving God in creat on?
