Uncle Dick and Aunt Betty Stevens

Uncle Dick and Aunt Betty Stevens are the founders of Life for Youth Camp. They were directors until the year 2001, when the mantle was passed to their son and daughter-in-law— Robby and Sherri. Uncle Dick went to be with the Lord on July 18, 2006. Aunt Betty lives here on the grounds and volunteers wherever needed. She still serves on the Board of Directors.

Robby and Sherri Stevens have been on the staff since 1978. In September of 2001, they were appointed Co-Directors of the camp. They have raised two children, Stephanie and Bobby, who are both on the staff at LFYC. They have also had an influential part in raising their niece, Chrissy, who is in her senior year at college.

Stephanie McCoy is the Retreat Coordinator. She is responsible for booking all of the retreat groups that use the camp's facilities during the fall, winter, and spring months. During the summer, she is the Program Coordinator. She is responsible for scheduling the campers and staff through their week's activities. Stephanie is the daughter of Robby and Sherri, and she has an eight-year-old son, Jacob.

Bobby Stevens is in charge of program and activity maintenance. He maintains all of our waterfront and activity equipment. He is a certified lifeguard and is obtaining his chauffeurs license so he can drive the camp buses. He plays the drums, leads the singing, and helps coordinate the Bible and Chapel times during the summer. Bobby is newly wed to Jamie.

Jim and Kay Saunders serve in the capacity of lawn and garden maintenance. With over eighty acres to maintain, the grounds have never looked more beautiful since they joined the full time staff team in the Spring of 2002. Jim and Kay are very flexible in helping wherever needed. You will ofter find them up before the sun, picking up trash the campers have left behind.

Dale and Tracie Dean, along with their daughter Anne joined us in March 2005. Coming all the way from Iowa, Tracie serves as our Food Service Supervisor and Dale serves in the maintenance area. We could not have camp without this wonderfully dedicated couple. They put together delicious, well balanced meals for campers and retreat guests who are using the facilities. They manage to keep the full time staff happy, as well!

Regina Petrizzi is our Summer Camp Registrar as well as Personal Assistant to Robby and Sherri. She started as a junior counselor in 1995. Since April of 2005 she has served on the full time staff team. Regina does whatever she is asked to do willingly and comes highly skilled in Microsoft Word and Excel software. She has learned our registration program inside and out and has become an employee we could not live without. Regina is married and brings her 2 1/2 year old son, Alex, to work each day.

Eddie & Cynthia Roper
and sons Tillman and Charles

Eddie and Cynthia Roper fill a great need here at camp. Eddie is our Maintenance Supervisor, and Cynthia is our Snack Shop/Primary Supervisor. They both come gifted with talents and are using them for God as they serve in this ministry. We all wear many hats here at camp, but I would have to say Eddie and Cynthia wear the most. They, along with their sons Charles and Tillman, joined the staff in July of 2005.

Chris Sood

Chris Sood comes from Masters Commission in Alabama. We recruited Chris from our summer staff in June 2006 to help with maintenance. He brings a spirit of fun to the full time staff team and is a joy to have on board. Chris leads our C.I.T. (Counselor In Training) program for local teens. He has the ability and energy needed to work with this age group.
