Testimonials from former staff:
 "I found a new life for myself that placed God at the center instead of on the outskirts. Pathways has helped me make wonderful friendships that will last a lifetime, introduced me to new ways to praise God in my everyday life and let me see God's work in hundreds of children. Camp has literally changed my life in the best way possible; it taught me that everything I am given in life, whether good or bad, I can handle and I don't need to hide from anything anymore. ~Written by a camp counselor of two years.
"Being a counselor as made me who I am today; stronger in faith, in happiness, in love and in friendship. I will cherish forever my memories with Pathways." ~Written by a camp counselor of two years.
"Working at Pathways this summer opened up my eyes and heart to what God has planned for me in life. I was afraid I would fail miserably but I felt incredibly successful. God held me the whole way and taught me so much about myself. God truly works in mysterious ways. Being open to Him was the best choice I have ever made." ~Written by a first-year counselor
