Meet Warm Beach’s Intern, Jessica Graves

The internship program is back in full swing at Warm Beach Camp (WBC)! We are excited to welcome Jessica Graves (left) from Ferndale as a 2023-2024 WBC intern. Jessica has been coming to WBC since she was eight and has participated in summer camps and volunteer opportunities at The Lights of Christmas.

“Years ago, my grandparents volunteered down here. And ever since I can remember, we’ve been coming down and helping with The Lights.”

Jessica was looking for a job where she could help people and make a difference while making friends. Through prayer and discussion with others, she was drawn to the Internship program at WBC.

“Warm Beach has always been like another home to me. When I come here, I feel instantly at home again.”

Jessica is enjoying the opportunity to live on campus and interact with the on-site community here, it doesn’t hurt that work is just a short walk from her house.

Interns get the opportunity to work in multiple departments to gain experience in several career options in camp ministry. So far, during her first two months in the program, Jessica has worked in Accommodations, Food Service, and The Lights of Christmas departments. She doesn’t have a favorite area yet but enjoys the opportunity to serve.

She is looking forward to meeting new people and growing closer to God during her time at WBC. And we are grateful that she is part of the Warm Beach team and excited to see how God moves in her life.

Imagine hearing from your youth group leader that there is an upcoming camp retreat and everyone is invited. As cheers of excitement fill the room, a lump ...

Affected and Unfazed

“Dear brothers and sisters, pattern your lives after mine, and learn from those who follow our example. For I have told you often before, and I say it again with tears in my eyes, that there are many whose conduct shows they are really enemies of the cross of Christ. They are headed for destruction. Their god is their appetite, they brag about shameful things, and they think only about this life here on earth. But we are citizens of ...

A Loaves and Fishes Summer

This summer, a group of young people arrived to attend Warm Beach Horse Day Camp. As is common with these introductory lessons, youth arrive who have never ridden a horse before. A 1,000-pound animal can terrify a child, and to sit atop a horse for the first time can be downright intimidating! In these instances, instructors take great care to pair the young rider with a horse fit to handle the task. A First-Time Rider's Breakthrough Moment During week one ...
