Bennet Spies
"Impact" Youth Intern
My name is Bennett Spies, I'm a 2026 highschool graduate, and I couldn't be more excited to be the Youth Ministry Intern at Family Camp this year!
Bay Shore has long been my home away from home, and it's an honor to be a part of the work that God does every year!
I'm the oldest of four siblings, a Communications major, and a big-time Billy Joel fan.
In my free time I love to read, write, and play piano. I also lead worship, preach, and run a junior high small group back at my home church in Ohio!
