Hey everyone my name is Aaron and I am from the mid-west, Illinois and Indiana to be more specific, where there is lots of corn and lots of humidity. I am excited to join the Camp T team and contribute to the goal of reaching kids for Christ. I have had a passion for Christ and the outdoors ever since I was a child; I went to Greenville College where I studied Recreation Leadership and Art/sculptor. My hobbies are running, creating art, mtn. biking road biking, fly fishing, climbing, white water kayaking, and just sitting and talking over a good cup o coffee/tea. I have a girlfriend named Sarah who lives in Michigan. I also have a puppy dog named Lucy. I am excited to meet you all and there is more to me than what is listed above but you'll just have to find that out in person. I will however leave you with one of my favorite quotes by John Muir.
Hiking - I don't like either the word or the thing. People ought to saunter in the mountains - not hike! Do you know the origin of that word 'saunter?' It's a beautiful word. Away back in the Middle Ages people used to go on pilgrimages to the Holy Land, and when people in the villages through which they passed asked where they were going, they would reply, "A la sainte terre,' 'To the Holy Land.' And so they became known as sainte-terre-ers or saunterers. Now these mountains are our Holy Land, and we ought to saunter through them reverently, not 'hike' through them.
~John Muir
