A large amount of our time these past few weeks have been
spent in training. Before groups arrive and activities begin, we all must be
trained on the different elements, different parts of camp, and just the basic
run down on how everything is ran down here at Camp Eagle!
I have been encouraged to see how well the staff and
families involved at this camp truly take care of the facilities that they have
been blessed with. Each element, each building, each trail.. the list goes on
as to how much time, effort, and care is put into this place! The Lord is good
and so are those training us how to also care for this facility!
Our training mostly started with all of the cleaning and
taking care of camp. Each building has specific needs that vary as far as
inside and outside. Obviously hotel like facilities are cleaned a different way
that hostel style rooms. These details are very important, which is
understandable! One thing I enjoyed in our training in the kitchen and the
taking care of this area is the positivity that everyone had about taking care
of the resources. This 1,400 acre area has reached so many people and has
brought so many of those people closer in the walk with Father. It is our duty
to take care of such a beautiful place!!!
We have also already been trained on all of the high
elements out here! I can now officially run the Zip3000, Zip850, Sherpa, Rock
Climbing, Repel, Super Swing, and a fun activity barn we have out on campus!
There may be more elements that I am forgetting, but I am sure you get the idea

During this time of training, I was overwhelmed by the
goodness of the Lord. The provision He had through the history of this camp is
so amazing! If you don’t know the story of Camp Eagle… maybe I can share with
you the goodness of the Lord, the redemption of this beautiful land and the
amazing impact it has now on so many!
Okay off of my soap box…
We also endured lifeguard training! For those of you who
know me, yall may remember that I was a lifeguard for three years! This
training is an intense, information overload filled into just 4 days! Y
Walkabout family was broken into two groups. Through this we endured the
physical testing and eventually the classroom setting. I must say that I was
very encouraged by the importance that Camp Eagle places on having certified
lifeguards for our huge waterfront here at camp! The picture above of all the
water and the fun equipment is the area in which I am now certified to
lifeguard at, as well as the pool of course!
Training is now over, I think! Haha… Walkabout loves
surprises.. so we never really know! I am thankful for the knowledge that I
have obtained through these weeks. An understanding of the breakdown of how
this camp is run and the importance of all the facilities and equipment!
