level of personal and com-
munity involvement,” the
Willitts said.
Their family businesses,
FivePine Lodge and Shibui
Spa, have benefited from
the community in gen-
eral, but especially having
SHS students work at both
facilities.
The scholarship initially
was going to be established
for students wanting to get
into the health field, but as
Zoe and Bill understood
more about the needs of
individual students, they
could see that a more general
scholarship was appropriate.
Sisters GRO also
announced three new schol-
arships: KLM Scholarship,
Intel Retirees of Sisters
Scholarship, and Outlaw
Health Professionals
Scholarship. For more infor-
mation about Sisters GRO
and scholarships, visit http://

Kent Boles was recently
selected as the new Young
Life Area Director, and step-
ping into the role should
be easy. Boles has worked
with middle school and high
school students for the past
36 years in Eugene, Pleasant
Hill, and he even ran a skate-
board ministry in Portland
for three years. For the last
13 years Boles has been
involved in youth ministry in
Sisters.
Boles has always loved
working with students and is
excited about the new oppor-
tunity. Kent is planning for a
Young Life fall kick-off. He
plans to have weekly meet-
ings for high school stu-
dents, and a large activity for
middle school students once
a month, such as the tram-
poline park, mini Olympics,
and world-record night.
The main focus of Young
Life for both middle school
and high school students is
summer camp, which is held
at Washington Family Ranch
in Antelope.

Camps for both mid-
dle school students and
high school students are
already in the books. Middle
school camp will be held
at Creekside, July 1-5. The
facility is state-of-the-art
and geared to everything
that middle-schoolers love,
including seven huge water
slides, a full ropes course, a
full gym, a mini golf course,
a rock-climbing wall, and a
huge area for mud-pit games.
High school camp will be
at Wildhorse from August
20-25. Wildhorse boasts a
giant zip line that drops kids
into a lake, an Olympic-sized
swimming pool, and an addi-
tional pool just for diving.
There’s a rock-climbing wall,
a full skateboard park, and a
Frisbee golf course.
Scholarships are avail-
able and fundraisers also
help lower the cost of
participation.
“Camp truly is a week
that will change kids’ lives,”
said Boles. “The way the
kids see themselves and see
God and how those two work
together is a life-changing
experience.”

As with any organization,
there is always a need for
volunteers.
“We are looking for peo-
ple to get involved at the
committee level. This means
helping with the planning,
not necessarily being with
the students, because some
people are intimidated and
afraid of teenagers,” Boles
said with a grin.
Volunteer leaders are
also in demand for the
weekly meetings with the
high school students and
the monthly activities for
the middle-schoolers. Young
