Chris Alexander is a longtime supporter of Lakeshore Camp & Retreat Center (TN). Chris attended Lakeshore in his younger years as a retreat camper for 5 years. He later was a part of the summer staff for 5 summers. Chris just couldn’t get enough of camp, so he has continued on as a dedicated volunteer, taking care of a variety of tasks. Chris is on our Board of Directors, serving on the Program Committee. Year after year, he helps in training our summer staff. When he is not leading a session in staff training, he is helping our maintenance crew get the facilities ready for summer. Along with two others, Chris leads Senior High Camp each summer. These are just a few samplings of all the work Chris does at Lakeshore. He is a “let’s do it” kind of person, always ready to jump in and do whatever needs to be done. 

When asked why he is dedicated to giving so much to this ministry, Chris said, “... I love the ministry that is done. It allows kids to be authentically who they are. And I have the greatest friends at Lakeshore.”

Chris is a great support to the team here. We are incredibly blessed to have him serving alongside us in this ministry.
