Rooted & Ready is a 14-day devotional crafted for college-aged camp leaders like you—those who are waking up early, pouring out energy, and trusting God in the middle of exhaustion, chaos, and breakthrough moments.

With stories from the trenches, deep biblical truths, and space to reflect, this isn’t just another camp resource. It’s your daily reset. Your spiritual anchor. Your reminder that you were called here on purpose.

More Than a Summer Job
— It’s a Spiritual Mission

More Than a Summer Job
— It’s a Spiritual Mission

You’re not just managing games and guiding hikes. You’re building something eternal. 

Whether you feel ready or not, you are a spiritual leader. Every meal you serve, every tear you wipe, every camper you pray over—it's all sacred ground.

Rooted & Ready helps you navigate the trenches of long days, loud cabins, and holy moments of transformation. It’s your guide to leading like Jesus—even when you’re running on little sleep and lots of bug spray.

What's Inside

selected

This isn’t fluff. It’s 14 days of raw, real, and refueling truth written for the camp staffer who wants to lead with purpose — and not burn out.

Devotions That Hit Deep

Each day includes a Bible verse, a real-life story from camp, a focused teaching, and a personal prayer.

Built for the Camp Grind

Designed for early mornings, late nights, and everything in between—quick to read, powerful to reflect on.

Space to Reflect

Every devotion ends with guided questions to help you apply the message and grow in your faith all summer long.

Topics include

Calling, Joy, Endurance, Humility, Obedience, Unity, Courage, and Grace Under Pressure

Each one built to sharpen your character and strengthen your spiritual leadership.

“This is the devotional I’ve been looking for. Rooted & Ready gives our staff spiritual depth without adding pressure to an already packed schedule. It’s clear, powerful, and fits camp life perfectly.”

Sarah M.

“Camp is a launching pad for spiritual growth, and this devotional prepares leaders to rise to the moment. We gave Rooted & Ready to our students serving as counselors—and it became the anchor they came back to again and again.”

Alyssa B.

Youth Pastor

“Not just another camp book. This is Scripture, story, and servant leadership all in one—made for the front lines of summer ministry.”

From the Author


I still remember my first summer on camp staff—sweaty, overwhelmed, and wondering if I had what it took. I didn’t just learn how to lead games or run small groups. I learned how to serve like Jesus.

Since then, I’ve spent years as a camp counselor, speaker, and staff trainer, working with thousands of young leaders. I wrote this devotional for you—because I’ve been in your shoes. I know the highs, the breakdowns, and the moments where God shows up in the middle of the mess.

“This isn’t a manual for perfect camp performance. It’s a spiritual guide for becoming the kind of leader God can use to change lives—including your own.”
