This is Ava-Joli's first summer at camp! She cannot wait to experience how the Lord moves this summer!

If you were a pasta shape, what would you be and why?

If I were a pasta shape, I would be a tortellini because they are packed with surprises. The dozens of flavors within the pasta are parallel to my fun personality!

What are the top three things on your bucket list?

The top three things on my bucket list are skydiving, traveling to Paris, and riding a dog sled. These seem like super fun ideas and once in a lifetime experiences.

If animals could drive, which animal would be the best and why?

If animals could drive I think a giant squid would be the best because of its many tentacles and huge eyes. It could use multiple functions of a car at once while also keeping a huge eye on the road.

What's your favorite Bible verse and why?

Psalms 23 is my favorite bible verse because it inspires calmness for me. In difficult situations, God will drive us to green pastures and calm waters simply because we believe in him. God can provide all that we need in life and I believe this verse captures that beautifully.

What are you praying for in anticipation for this summer?

I am praying for guidance and the ability to inspire and connect with other campers. I am also praying for strength, clarity and wisdom. I am looking forward to diving deep into my faith. I am looking forward to a great experience and an amazing summer.
