The Whole Ministry Of Highlands
By Maria Shupe,
Executive Director
This summer has been full of blessings! I often compare being the Executive Director of Highlands to being the conductor of anorchestra . . . and summer is the time when we play the big complicated musical pieces! This summer we have enjoyed having:
• 134 guest groups here for nearly 6000 camper days and eating13,904 meals;
• Special celebrations including a 90th birthday celebration, a 50th
anniversary celebration, and a wedding;
• 6 family reunions with an average of 40-60 family members;
• 270 Residential Summer Campers and over 20 Summer Staff members;
• International staff from England, Colombia, Hungary, Russia and
Ukraine;
• 3 Mission Work Camps who did special projects at Highlands.
• Over 400 children and youth in Partnership Day Camps;
• One exciting week of Respite Camp with children who require 24 hour care;
• The Board of Pensions retirement planning seminar for church
leaders. . . (read more)
