Awesomeness Takes the Stage 2017 | Christian Miller

Hello, Friends!! Do you have a minute to get to know Christian Miller today on our Awesomeness Takes the Stage! He’s the last of our Media Collective Team!

Christian is a big guy with a big passion for videography/photography! He takes his work seriously and uses his creativity and mad skillz to capture stories to bless others! Which kinda comes in handy at camp, right?!

He’s a one on one kinda fella, but doesn’t mind shouting random things at random times within large groups of people! Always keeping us on our toes, this one!

I’ve seen Christian grow this summer and it’s been great to see him stretch himself more and more out from behind the camera to connect with campers.

He’s done a great job compiling all the photos and videos from the other media team members and putting together each week’s videos! Thanks for serving with us this summer, Christian! And thanks for having a laugh that is contagious!

Awesomeness Takes the Stage 2017 | Emily Frew

And the introductions keep rolling! You’ve met Casey and Chloe, but today I’d like you to meet Emily Frew on our Awesomeness Takes the Stage Series!

Emily is always wearing a smile. Maybe it’s the dimples, but for sure it’s the bright and cheery light that makes her smile so refreshing! When the dark and heavy cloud hangs over our days (we all have them, right?!), Emilie’s smile is a little sunshine to keep us going!

She seems to prefer the one on one interactions over the front of the large crowd interactions, but Emily has a heart to be involved and connect with others!

She uses her camera to capture the best of people’s moments and encourages the people around her!

Emilie, thank you for spending your summer snapping with us! And thank you for always flashing your smile to brighten our days! (see what just happened there?!)

Awesomeness Takes the Stage 2017 | Chloe Headings

You guys met Casey, right? Continuing on with the introductions of our Media Collective team, I bring you Chloe Headings!

It doesn’t matter that Chloe is the youngest member on our entire summer staff or that she traveled the second furthest to serve with us this summer (hello Michigan!) or that she is confused by the difference between a sweater and a sweatshirt. What matters is that Chloe is excited about life and loves to share it with the people around her.

Chloe handles difficulties with grace, seeks to keep the team strong and to remain positive no matter what is going on around her. Her go-getter attitude is appreciated around these parts and she’s proven herself reliable on many occasions.

With a willingness to learn and try new things and challenge herself in new ways, Chloe is a huge asset to our Media Co.

Thanks for coming all this way to serve with us, Chloe! We love having your fun little self with us this summer!

Awesomeness Takes the Stage 2017 | Casey Bell

Today I’m introducing you to one of our Media Collective team members — Casey Bell!

Casey is quiet with spunk! Once she gets a feel for her environment, she’s all in! As we’ve gotten to know her a little better over these past few weeks, we’ve seen a piece of her heart shine as she wants to make sure everyone feels seen. She seems to have a heart for the underdog!

She loves to join in the action and be a part of all that’s going on. She has a spirit of adventure, she’s a provider of snacks (she always has snacks!), and she wears a smile like her life depends on it!

We’ve enjoyed her willingness to do what needs doing, her creativity with the videography she captures and produces, and the positive attitude she brings to the team.

Casey, thank you for serving with us this summer! We wouldn’t be as strong without you!

Awesomeness Takes the Stage | Intro 2017

Each summer, we like to spotlight each of our summer staff to help you get to know them a bit more! We call these spotlights AWESOMENESS TAKES THE STAGE. We just didn’t feel it was right to hog our staff all to ourselves — we want you to know how awesome they are too!

As we share fun pictures of them and a bit about who they are, we also like to share about the jobs they are doing all summer long. To kick start our ATS 2017, I want to introduce you to our Media Collective. Beginning tomorrow I will introduce you to each individual on our Media Co team, but today I wanted to let you know about them and see a couple behind the scenes pictures of them doing their thing!

For the first year ever, we have a whole team of people working hard to capture the heart of each camp week through photography and videography. Each person is at a different place in their experience and knowledge, but each one brings their own personal perspective to the job, helping us better share the camp experience with others and helping them build their portfolios and experiences!

Media Co spend their days capturing, editing and producing content for the campers to take home with them as well as helping us spread the word about what God is doing through Whisper Mountain Camp. Our Media Co help tell the story of God encountering teens through outdoor adventure and God’s personal whispers!

To say I’m excited to have them working with us this summer is an understatement! I can’t wait to begin introducing them to you — starting tomorrow! See you then!
