MERCER, PA --- Do you want to make a real difference in the life of a child?   Do you believe that you can make a difference in that child’s life?  Then Camp Nazareth and our Diocese call you to be a member of the 2011 Camp Nazareth Summer Staff.  Because at Camp, the Staff makes all the difference!

That’s your job as a Camp Nazareth Staff Member.  It is to make a difference in the life of the campers.  It is not to get another mark on a resume, nor is it to find something to do over the Summer, nor is it a last resort when other options fail to materialize for the Summer.  As a Camp Nazareth Staff member parents entrust their children to your care, not so much the Camp Director’s care, but into your care.  You are called upon by the campers to help them, listen to them, lead them, be there for them, comfort them, guide them, talk with them, and inspire them. 

In all of this, and at every moment of the Camp Program, you are the face of the Camp.  Campers look into that face and either they will see a person who wants to make a difference in their lives, or a person who is just along for the ride, so to speak.  And if they see in you a person who is there for them, whose commitment is to their experience of Camp and of Christ, what an impact you can have in their lives!  What an impact you can have!

It is an exciting time right now for Camp Nazareth.  At this time of year it is beginning to look for young men and women who are committed to Christ and who want to make a difference in the life of our children.  The Camp wants you to be a part of the 2011 Summer Staff if you fit this description.  We want you to be the face of Camp in 2011.  We want you to be a part of the 2011 Camp Nazareth Staff:  The Difference-Makers. 

If you want to be a Difference-Maker in 2011, if you think you have what it takes to be a part of the The Difference-Makers, then you are invited to The Difference-Makers Camp, which will be held at Camp Nazareth from Friday, December 17- Sunday, December 19.  All meals and lodging will be paid for by the Camp.  All you need to do is show up for The DMC.  At the Camp we’re going to have some fun together, we’re going to learn a little together, talk about the 2011 Summer Program together, we’re going to begin building our Staff Team together, we’re going to pray together, and we’re going to begin making a difference in the campers’ lives together. 

To reserve a spot in The DMC, please call the Camp (Fr. Stephen) at 724-662-4840 or send an email to campnazareth@acrod.org. 

Please note that the snow-date for The DMC will be December 28-30 (Tues.-Th.).
