OVERNIGHT WEEK 3 (previously OC 1) Ben Treme & Shelby Busbee Benjamin Treme I am thankful to be serving as a Director at Green Valley Bible Camp! After attending Harding University for undergrad (B.A. Management & Ministry) and working in the Admissions Office as a traveling recruiter for 4 years, I am thankful to be in full-time ministry. Church camp has always been a pivotal part of my life. For teens, specifically, this can be a life-changing experience. I take very seriously the challenge to embrace teens where they are, challenge growth in their own faith, and then to disciple others! Excited to see how God moves at GVBC! Youth Minister Bentonville Church of Christ cell: 479-273-2178 btreme@bentonvillechurch.com Shelby Busbee I grew up going to Green Valley Bible Camp and it holds a very special place in my heart. It gave me the opportunity to build a strong foundation for my faith and is where I gave my life to Christ through baptism. While attending college at the University of Arkansas, I became very involved in the college ministry Razorbacks for Christ and began working for them as an intern. Through that experience, I found an absolute love for ministry. Then God led me to Bentonville Church of Christ. Church camp can be life changing; I know it was for me. I want to help create an impactful experience for campers that will allow their faith to grow. I’m very excited to serve as a Co-Director.

OVERNIGHT WEEK 4 Beau Foster (previously Ben Hadley) I love Green Valley! I spent six incredible years as a camper at Robb Hadley's sessions. I fondly remember singing at the amphitheater, eating soft-serve ice cream, playing softball, and walking up the hill. After graduating from camp in 2019, I studied communication at Arkansas Tech University. I returned to Green Valley as a counselor in 2021 and 2022. In 2023 I was trusted with more responsibilities when I became the Youth and Family Minister for the Center Street Church of Christ. As a counselor, I was reunited with an old friend, who became the love of my life! I asked Madi "up the hill" with a ring pop; the rest is history. Green Valley holds a special place in my heart, and I am beyond excited to serve as the session Director for Overnight Camp 4. I can't wait to make new memories and have an incredible time at camp!

OVERNIGHT WEEK 5 Scot & Beth Wiles (previously Craig Frost) Scot and Beth are members of the Flagstone Church of Christ. Beth works for Fayetteville public schools as the deaf and hard of hearing coordinator for the district. Scot works for Ozarks Electric in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Scot and Beth have two children. Scot has a long history with GVBC as a camper, Counselor, Board Member and now co-Director of Overnight Camp Week 5 and Day Camp. Beth got to know GVBC in 2011 when their oldest child started going to day camp. They love GVBC because their kids LOVE it and they want all kids to have that same experience. As a family they have spent countless hours at camp working and serving to make GVBC into a great place for all kids to grow closer to Christ and others. “Like many of you we do not know if we can narrow down what GVBC means to us into a few words or even a paragraph. GVBC is a place to learn more about your relationship with Christ, listen to God through the beauty around you, and grow your faith in God through others (life-long friendships). We look forward to seeing you out at camp this summer and have been praying for you and your kids daily.” Scot scotandbethgvbc@gmail.com cell: (479) 404-0581 Beth scotandbethgvbc@gmail.com cell: (479) 445-7117

OVERNIGHT WEEK 7 Chris Brill Chris Brill is currently serving as the Family/Youth Minister for the Mountain Home Church of Christ. Prior to that he was the Youth Minister for the Greenbrier Church of Christ and in administration for Southern Christian Home and Hope Harbor. He has a B.S.E. from the University of Arkansas and a B.Th. from Bear Valley Bible Institute of Denver. Chris isn’t new to Green Valley. He served GVBC in several capacities for several years beginning in 1990--lifeguard, camp assistant, and week 7 counselor. He has a true passion for GVBC because it gave him spiritual direction by introducing him to many Christlike individuals--most importantly, Bobby and Loreta Vaughn (former Camp Director) and Bill and Kay McFarland (former Week 7 Camp Director). Both couples he describes as highly influencing his spiritual growth and even his marriage to Shirley Brill. They have three children and three grandchildren. “I do not take lightly the responsibility the GVBC board has asked me to undertake as the new Director of Week 7. Likewise, I do not take it so seriously that I think that the week has become mine. The heart and work of the week is represented by all the counselors who continued to come back year after year as led by Bill. I look forward to carrying on that wonderful tradition.” Family/Youth Minister Mountain Home Church of Christ 380 N College St Mountain Home, AR 72653 office: 870-425-4330 cell: 501-454-9262 chrisbrill@mountainhome.church

HIGH SCHOOL RETREAT Andy Brazle I grew up in Ozark, MO and went to Harding University where I studied Bible. I worked as a youth minister in Artesia, NM with the Hermosa Dr. Church of Christ for four years. I then moved to Rogers, AR to work with the Southside Church of Christ three days before the Rogers week session of Green Valley in 2005 and I fell in love with GVBC right away. Some of the greatest events in my life occurred at church camp from my baptism at a camp in Kansas to both meeting and later marrying my wife Megan at Green Valley. I think that this camp is one of the greatest opportunities in existence to come closer to God alongside other amazing young people who are trying to do the same. Southside Church of Christ 919 S.
