Among other duties, Pastor Brian works directly with the male staff, gently leading all to a satisfying, mind-blowing camp experience. Brian's favorite camp activity is hand ball.

Camp Music Director Patsy's #1 job is loving and supporting her husband, Pastor Brian. Her #2 job is leading all of Camp Str8-N-Arrow's music programs. Patsy's favorite music comes from Third Day, Casting Crowns, Bonnie Tyler, and Katy Perry. When asked why she loves Camp Camp Str8-N-Arrow, Patsy has two reasons: 1) her husband loves it, and 2) Patsy believes that God's spirit can best be heard through music, and when she's at camp, she gets to feel that spirit rise up out of her mouth and shower her whole body and the bodies of everyone around her.

Camp Art Instructor Virginia has been obsessed with wet clay since she first experimented with her high school art teacher. She loves the way the clay feels between her fingers, wet and cold until her body heat warms it up. She'll teach you how to be hard with the clay and pound it out with your fist, but then she'll teach you how to smooth it out gently with the tips of your fingers. Virginia also teaches finger painting, and her favorite artist is Georgia O'Keefe. "An hour with me and Georgia and some wet clay is my most frequent dream!" says Virginia.

Camp Psychologist Peter has a certificate in grace-driven psychiatry from Liberty University where he studied with his mentors Rev. Jerry Falwell and Dr. God (the greatest scientist of them all!) and served as a research fellow with the Rev. James Dobson and Focus on the Family. He is trained in ways that will help campers avoid the psychological problems often associated with homosexuality. He also plays a mean game of volleyball!!!1!

Camp Technical Director Pam keeps all the toilets working, so you can stay focused on learning more about God's love! Besides fixing toilets and making dinner, Pam also teaches the camp's mime classes. When not at camp. Pam is a professional Parcheesi player and also enjoys speed-knitting. Last year, she helped start the camp's initiative, "Sheaths of God's Love," where campers covered themselves in long knit tubes of yarn, symbolizing what it felt to be inside God and feel his warmth all over you! A magical moment in the history of Camp Str8-N-Arrow!!

Camp Counselor Sam is back at Camp Str8-N-Arrow after a successful round of Level X. Sam has taken a vow of silence in solidarity with Vice President Mike Pence (her #1 hero). Until the Christians of the world are safe from oppression and able to celebrate the true faith vocally, she too will remain silent. Sam has also been working on a Christian sign language as an alternative to the secular ASL. Away from camp, Sam enjoys watching ABC Family and playing the Christian version of Monopoly (about earning wealth as a tribute to God!!!!11!!)!!!!!
