Storyboard: Faith Witness Transformation is a podcast highlighting ministries across the East Ohio Conference of The United Methodist Church that are transforming lives locally, nationally, and globally. Produced twice-a-month by EOC Communications, each podcast episode focuses on one of the core values of the #BeUMC campaign: Disciple Making; Belonging & Inclusion; Influence, Connection & Impact; and Experience of God through The United Methodist Church.

Episode 54 “Experiencing Summer Camp” features a conversation with leaders of the three East Ohio Conference campsites: Aldersgate, Asbury and Wanake.

“At Camp kids get the opportunity to be in creation and experience the beauty of creation which is another testimony and another way that they can get to know God the Creator,” said Rev. Gary Jones, Camps & Retreat Ministries director.

“We have a whole summer staff full of people ready to lead kids spiritually from different countries from our country from different places in life,” said Meredith Mateer, Camp Aldersgate director. “The opportunity that kids have to see themselves reflected in someone that’s in a spiritual leadership position is really special.”

Camp Asbury Director John Cruz says camp community is like no other. “It’s so impactful because of how close that small group setting is that they’re in.”
