Welcome Cami Blue and Mike Jacques!

Warm Beach Camp Ministries would like to welcome Cami Blue back as the new Bookkeeper & Administrative Assistant and Mike Jacques as the new Plant Maintenance Manager!

Cami grew up at Warm Beach Camp in the 70s when both her parents were on staff, and throughout her adulthood, Warm Beach is a place that she often found herself returning to. After moving to Haiti in the 80s with her family and graduating in 1991, Cami would return every year to work as summer staff while she attended Taylor University. She then accepted a full-time position in the mail room, which led to managing the Warm Beach bookstore. In 2000, Cami returned to Haiti to teach for one year in a small Christian school, and upon moving back state-side, she worked for Warm Beach Camp. This was when she met her future husband, Eric Blue, who volunteered for The Lights of Christmas; they wed in 2003.

She most recently worked as the Administrative Assistant for the Warm Beach Free Methodist Church. Now, she has been led back to Warm Beach Camp to settle into a new role in a community she loves. To return to Warm Beach Camp at this point in her life, Cami stated, “It feels like I am coming home. There is an element of coming full circle. My kids, Daniel and Mercy, have worked at Camp this past year, and they are about the same age I was when I started working here.”

Cami is excited to be working with the ladies in the Business office. Welcome back, Cami! We are so glad you are here!

Mike grew up in New Jersey, and after graduating high school, he enlisted in the Navy. He served for four years and became a second-class petty officer electrician. Mike has been working in camp maintenance since 2000. He saw the position posted on the CCCA website. He applied, stating, “My family and I are looking forward to living and working in a positive Christian-based organization that gives back to the community.”

Mike and his wife of twenty years are parents to three lovely children: David, a senior in high school who will start college at the University of Kansas next fall, Sarah 13, and Adam 12. All three children are in band at school. Mike’s wife is an elementary school teacher who lives back in Oklahoma with their three children to finish this school year and will join Mike at Warm Beach this May!

As a family, they enjoy exploring the great outdoors by hiking and swimming. Please welcome Mike and his family to the Warm Beach community!

Trust and Deliverance

Here are some words of guidance for times of trouble from a very wise person. IN TIME OF TROUBLE SAY: FIRST- He brought me here-it is by His will I am in this strait place; in that will I rest. NEXT- He will keep me in His love, and give me grace in this trial to behave as His child. THEN- He will make the trial a blessing, teaching me the lessons He means me to learn, and working in ...

Ride of a Lifetime

“Don’t you want to retire so you can do all the things you’ve ever dreamed about?” It’s a question that I’ve been asked a lot. My answer, “I have gotten to do way more than I could have ever imagined in my wildest dreams these last 50 years in Christian Camping!” Little did we realize what was ahead when my husband, Stan, was finishing up his last trek of college education. We were lying on a blanket, soaking up the ...

The Barn Changed Me

Before the barn, I felt like I was missing something—like my purpose began and ended with being a mom and a wife. While those roles are sacred, I knew deep down there was more of me waiting to be found. I was searching for myself… learning how to honor my truth, how to listen to my own voice, and how to step into confidence in who I am. Then I found the barn. And slowly, quietly… it began to change ...
