New Interns Selected!
Laity Lodge Family Camp and Laity Lodge Youth Camp have chosen Jules Thomas and Chelsea Jensen as the 2010/2011 interns in the Laity Fellowship Program!
Jules Thomas grew up in Lafayette, Louisiana (she loves everything Cajun), and Houston, Texas. She attended LLYC as a counselor and then as work crew boss. Jules graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in Kinesiology. She has been an active leader at McCallum High School Young Life in Austin. Jules says that being a counselor at LLYC has greatly helped her efforts and ministry through Young Life by enabling her to become more confident in her abilities to guide and walk alongside girls in high school. She says that her time spent working with both the Youth Camp and the Family Camp has filled her with such joy. Jules knows that the Fellowship Program will challenge her spiritually, mentally, and physically, but hopes it will connect things she has learned in and out of the classroom and through organizations such as Young Life into the next stages of her life.
Chelsea Jensen grew up in Corpus Christi, Texas, and has been coming to LLYC ever since she was ten years old as a 
Tri-Love camper at Singing Hills. Chelsea graduated from Texas A&M with a degree in Anthropology. As a member of the Texas A&M Women’s Chorus, she performed various selections of music at campuses, churches, and auditoriums around the state. They even traveled to three European countries on an international tour and sang in Hungarian, Slovakian, and Czech. (Chelsea will be a great addition to the Laity Chorale!) She has a strong personal and spiritual connection to the H. E. Butt Foundation property because she came to Christ when she was 12 years old while attending a junior high church retreat at Linnet’s Wings. The Frio Canyon and camp facilities feel like a spiritual home to her, and Chelsea expects the Fellowship Program will be an incredible place for her to grow and help others be uplifted and realize their talents as well.
Jules and Chelsea are both serving on the LLYC staff this summer. Chelsea is working alongside Laura Newman as Girls’ Assistant Co-Director at Singing Hills. Jules is serving at Echo Valley this summer as the Kitchen Director. Please welcome them to the Foundations for Laity Renewal.
