Although they are “sort of” retired, you won’t be at the camp long without spotting Dale or Linda. They continue to serve as not only the backbone, but the wisdom of the camp staff. Although they each bring a knowledge about how camp and camp meeting things are done, it is the encouraging words and the endless willingness to serve that are Dale & Linda’s most valuable gift they give to the camp and it’s staff.

Linda works in the camp office; while Dale handles the camp’s technical maintenance, such as sewer treatment, plumbing, electrical and appliances. Linda can most often be found in the office, but Dale could be anywhere on the grounds. Linda’s favorite places at Roxbury are the prayer garden and prayer chapels.

Dale and Linda say that working at Roxbury has taught them to be better servants. Serving God and serving others has been a lifelong practice for them as they have served in ministry in Michigan, Africa, Kansas, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Pennsylvania. They began their journey together in the Michigan church where Linda grew up and Dale’s father had come to serve as pastor. They have three married children and 6 grandchildren. The future will probably mean more time with their family as they can see an end to their formal work lives in the coming years. (But they’ve been saying this a long time!)

Heather works hard each week to make sure that all of the calendars are in order. She coordinates reservations and contracts for our guest groups as well as handling the scheduling for the camp staff.  On the weekends she can frequently be found helping out in the kitchen, or conspiring with Michelle on decorations for the next programming event.

Heather’s home is in the UP (Upper Peninsula) of Michigan. She spent many years as a youth pastor and working with Youth for Christ before coming to Roxbury in 2018. She enjoys Civil War History and spends a lot of time in Gettysburg learning. She also enjoys scrapbooking, knitting, and traveling to National Parks. However, her favorite thing is COFFEE!! It is a rarity to see her without a cup or pot of coffee in hand. She is also excited that her parents have finally retired so they can come visit her more often.

She also helps plan special events and keeps the Commons beautifully decorated. Of course, you’ll find her most often in the kitchen, where she spends some very long days, especially during the summer camp season. We are very thankful for all the hard work Michelle puts into making sure our guests have amazing food to eat! Michelle has received multiple perfect kitchen inspection reports from the PA Department of Agriculture. She enjoys running in her free time.

Michelle spent most of her childhood in Bolivia, South America where her parents were missionaries. She was saved at age four under a banana tree and later was baptized in the Manopari River. She came back to Pennsylvania to attend high school and college. It was in college where she met her husband, Dave. They have now been married for more than 30 years, have four sons, a daughter-in-law, a granddaughter and another on the way. Michelle is looking forward to watching and visiting her sons as they transition into their adult lives.
