Daniel Springs Celebrates Summer 2024

By Charles Johnson

Daniel Springs Baptist Camp (DSBC) held its annual “end-of-the-camping season” awards celebration banquet on Thursday, July 25, in the camp cafeteria. A total of 65 employees, their family members, trustees and friends of the camp gathered for the event.

The attendees were treated to a delicious fajita Tex-Mex buffet meal. The tables were decorated with bright tablecloths and balloon bouquets. A centerpiece photo backdrop featured a balloon train and appreciation banner. Decorations were provided and installed by Trustee Charlotte Johnson and Triniti Mauk.

Special recognition and appreciation gifts were given to the summer missionaries (summer staff) and camp maintenance, food and medical staff. The summer missionaries included increments for one through six summers of serving at the camp.

Camp Director Jason Prewitt, who is in his 10^th year at Daniel Springs, gave special recognition to Rosetta Hicks, who has completed 30 years of summer work at the camp in the food service department. He also acknowledged Camp Nurse Terri Gaidusek, who has served in this position for 25 years.

Prewitt reported to the audience that over 1,900 campers attended DSBC in the summer of 2024. That is an increase of over 400 campers from 2023 as the camp continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic years when the camp was closed. More importantly, he thankfully shared that some 180 of the campers made professions of faith in Jesus as Savior during the summer of 2024.
