👋 Staff Spotlight: Makayla Nieman
Makayla is back for her 2nd summer at SBC as a counselor, and she’s excited for another season of watching God work in the lives of campers and staff alike. ☀️💙
A few fun facts about Makayla:
⭐ Favorite verses: Psalm 139:9-12 and Colossians 3:17
📍 From: Hudson, MI
🎓 College sophomore this fall
If Makayla could be any camp activity, she’d be Tire Wars because “I might seem a little hesitant at first, but once you get to know me, I’m super fun and competitive.” 😂🛞
Camp has had a big impact on Makayla’s faith journey. She shared that camp has taught her to be more intentional in her walk with God and reminded her that her relationship with Him should be at the center of everything she does. ✨
Her encouragement for first-time campers:
“It’s okay if you don’t know anyone or have everything figured out — that’s the point of camp! I promise you’ll make new friends, learn more about God, and have a lot of fun in the process.”
One of Makayla’s favorite SBC memories is her very first Grammys Night. 🎤🎶
We’re excited to have Makayla back on the SBC team for another unforgettable summer!
