Welcome to PSR: Your 2015 Leadership Team

Dear Camp Family & Friends,

   It's only March and PSR Camp has already been blessed with record-breaking enrollment for our 2015 summer camp season. This is because our 2014 camp season was so successful and safe, and also because of a much larger trends in our society. (March/April 2015 edition of Camping Magazine, pg. 34.)

   Today, I would like to introduce you to a few of the leaders who will be shepherding our staff, campers, and guests this summer. We're really excited to add them to the team of supervisors and have great faith that they will accomplish great things together at camp.

2015 LEADERSHIP TEAM


 Christy Solis

 Title: Administrative Coordinator
 From: Colton, CA
 PSR Seasons: 2014

 Last summer was Christy's first season at PSR Camp. She trained with our outgoing administrative coordinator last year, and we're ready to welcome her on board this year and see what she can accomplish.

The administrative coordinator helps to create a lot of the schedules at camp and helps the executive staff remain organized.






Angel S. Castillo

Title: Program Assistant
From: Apple Valley, CA
PSR Seasons: 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014

Angel started working at PSR Camp in the horsemanship department and last summer was a counselor for our Junior Chef class.

"Every time I am with a small group, speaking about Jesus I feel the closest to God. It is what moves me to continue living and thriving. I'm excited to show both the staff and campers the amazing love of God in everything that we do at summer camp." ~Angel

Angel will be directing our Outpost play and helping with many of the other programs we have at camp.


Judith Mendoza

Title: Activities Coordinator
From: Portland, Oregon
PSR Seasons: 2013, 2014

When we needed someone especially reliable to accomplish something at camp, we have always been able to ask Judith.

She's involved with campus ministry at Pacific Union College, and was one of our best soccer camp instructors at PSR Camp.

This summer she'll take the lead in planning our group game activities to make sure our campers have fun playing outside!



Briana Martinez

Title: Village Coordinator
From: Palm Desert, CA
PSR Seasons: 2013, 2014
Camp Safari Day Camp: 2007-2010

Briana is a former head instructor, trip counselor, and participant in Camp Safari at the Palm Desert SDA Church. She also has experience in a classroom setting, and has a lot to offer the girls of south village this season.

"God works in mysterious ways, it just takes faith and trust to see what God has planned for our lives." ~Briana.




 Daniel Marruffo

Title: Village Coordinator
From: Riverside, CA
PSR Seasons: 2012, 2013, 2014

Formerly a camper, Daniel graduated to washing dishes at PSR Camp in 2012. He then came back to PSR to be a counselor for two more seasons before applying to lead the boy's village this year.

His top two goals this season are:
1. To make a difference in the lives of children by modeling Jesus' love and acceptance of all people.
2. To contribute and be part of the ministry of Pine Springs Ranch.




 Nina Bardales

Title: Program Assistant
From: Riverside, CA
PSR Seasons: 2013, 2014

Nina has been working with children for many years as a Sabbath School teacher, preschool teacher's aid, and also at camp as a counselor.

This summer she will be leading out in our Sabbath programs, directing our camp pageant, and planning our morning camp council worships.

She's already used to being a leader at camp and a captain on the water polo team in college and we're glad to have her back on the team.


  
Colin Willumson

Title: PR & Media Coordinator
From: Murfreesboro, TN
PSR Seasons: 2014
Indian Creek Camp: 2009, 2010, 2011

Last summer Colin was our media instructor, and he's also our very first PR & Media Coordinator. We've had the position available for many years, but Colin is the first person who's had enough relevant experience to fill the post.

This summer Colin will be working on our camp blog, social media updates, and our 2016 promotional video. So make sure to subscribe to our Instagram, Twitter, blog, and follow us on Facebook to get your daily dose of camp information this season.

   After those introductions, the first thing I should mention is that the leadership supervisors are a team of equals who all work together in a ministry of camp lay leaders. They all take their responsibilities very seriously and we're happy that all of them accepted the call to serve at PSR Camp this summer.

We'll be having our annual leadership planning session from March 20-23 this year up at the Ranch, so say a prayer for us as we gather to make sure camp is the same quality experience as it's been since 1961.

   We'll see you at camp!
