Alanna Knapp - Youth/Summer Camp Secretary

There are many things in life that bring joy, but for me, my greatest joy is seeing young people make a commitment for Jesus Christ. Previously I have enjoyed serving students who attend public universities through CAMPUS [going to add a link]. While working with CAMPUS, I attended Michigan Technological University and earned a Bachelor's degree in Communication and Culture Studies. Living in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan increased my love for the simple joys in God's creation.

Growing up just an hour from Camp Au Sable enabled my family to visit on Sabbath afternoons and many a weekend events. My earliest memories recalled the bear that greets each camper who walks in the door of the Nature Center and hiking around the lake before there was a boardwalk. I am excited to be a part of the team and look forward to each summer at camp.

Coordinating reservations, handling all paper work, taking camp photos, and dabbling in the landscaping of the camp keep my days full and active. Camp is the best place to live and work.

Michelle Fisher - Assistant Health Ministries Coordinator

Hello, my name is Michelle Fisher. I am the Assistant Health Ministries Coordinator at Camp Au Sable. I have been at camp for three years and am grateful to be a part of a ministry that has such great outreach. Every group that comes up brings new opportunities to share the love of Jesus and the talents He has allowed me to have for His glory.

I lived in Northville, Mich., and had a bakery and restaurant before the Lord called me to camp. I prayed He would find a buyer for both of those businesses, and I would never do that type of work again. Of course, God had a different idea. He sent a buyer for the businesses in July and called me here in October. Isn't God wonderful? My ten-year-old grandson, Henry, lives with me at camp. it is his job to make life interesting, and he is very good at it. He is a joy in my life. We continue to praise the Lord for His goodness in calling us to Camp Au Sable and for the opportunity is affords us to live in this wonderful place.

Ryan Peters - Taskforce Volunteer

Though originally from Maryland, I first heard of Camp AuSable when I came as a camper in 1997. While working at the GC, a friend told me about a volunteer position that was open at camp. I attended a community college near home and earned an Associate degree in General Studies. After going to school in an environment where God is not a priority, I loved the idea of working with fellow Adventist my age. During the summer on my off time, you will find me water skiing or tinkering with some type to technical gadget. In my spare time, I enjoy sports like soccer and hockey.
