A Legacy of Camp
When Rylee Crevier first came to Fortune Lake as a Vagabond camper through the support of her home congregation, Bethel Lutheran in Ishpeming, she had no idea how much light camp would bring into her life. Her parents had been youth campers, and they understood the value of camp. From the very first visit, Rylee was hooked! When she saw younger staff working in the kitchen, she immediately knew, “I want to do that!” Rylee began serving on summer staff in 2016, and God’s impact on her life continued and deepened.
Rylee saw the light of Jesus at work in many ways throughout her time as a summer staffer. She especially appreciated working with younger children – Villagers and Day Campers – where she encouraged them to help, serve, and give to others. She had always wanted to be a teacher, and the experiences she had at camp solidified that calling and prepared her for the work she now does everyday. In her Kindergarten classroom, her priorities include connecting with students as people first, helping children to develop problem solving skills, and providing opportunities for unstructured play. She helps the children find and shine their lights!
Rylee remains active at Fortune Lake through participating as a camper, volunteer, and donor. She plans for her growing family to attend Intergenerational Camp, allowing for life-giving rest and renewal in a faith-centered outdoor environment. She and her spouse, Rev. Lance Crevier, wonder if their children will continue the family’s legacy through one day serving on the summer staff. She is grateful for the Fortune Lake memories that they already share and the stories they can recount together as a family.
In addition to supporting the ministry of their home congregation, First Lutheran in Iron River, Rylee’s family also chooses to contribute to Fortune Lake. She wants to help ensure that Jesus’s light can continue to shine in this sacred place for generations to come. She is committed to helping train up the next generation for lives of service and generosity.
