“Clogged toilets distract people,” said Scott Baker, “I do what I can to remove distraction so people can make their way to the cross.” This statement shares well Scott and Tammi Baker’s humble hearts and their calling to serve in camp ministry.
Scott and Tammi Baker got into camp ministry in 1995 when Pastor Gary Thurber asked Scott if he would be willing to serve as camp ranger at Camp AuSable in Michigan. Without hesitation or asking any questions Scott said, “Yes.” Pastor Thurber told Scott he needed to think about it and talk it over with Tammi first, to which Scott replied, “If you think I can do it and God’s calling me, I am in.”
Growing up, Scott worked with his father in a painting and decoration business that required a great deal of home repair work before they could get to the painting. Always determined to know how things work, Scott is always watching and learning. And even though he has done everything from tree milling to bobcat repair, Scott loves learning new things and coming up with solutions to problems.
Over the years, Scott and Tammi have served at Camp Au Sable, Sunset Lake Camp in Washington and Camp Wakonda in Wisconsin. In each location they have served as partners with Tammi leading out in hosting, hospitality, housekeeping, reservations and invoicing, to name a few of her many duties.
Gifted in organization, attention to detail, and problem solving, Scott has been a blessing to each camp he has served. But when asked, Scott says that Tammi’s gifts are really what has grown the camps where they have worked as Tammi is so great at making everyone feel welcomed and comfortable.
When not busy with camp the Bakers enjoy camping, fat biking, kayaking and spending time with their family. The Minnesota Conference team welcomes Scott and Tammi and looks forward to witnessing God at work in them.
