Will’s Personal Testimony

Given in a three minute promotional video for Cohutta Springs Youth Camp during the summer of 2011 when Will was 19 years old. It highlights some of Will’s wakeboarding skills and why he loved to teach kids at the camp.

Give in Will's honor

Among Will's many passions were family, the outdoors, wakeboarding, and helping others. Most importantly though, God was Will's #1 focus; and he easily shared God with everyone he met through his actions and words. In Will's written life goals for giving back, he includes the practice of tithing 10% and giving specifically to Cohutta Springs Youth Camp. Cohutta Springs Youth Camp is where Will invested much of his time with campers of all ages nurturing their enthusiasm for wakeboarding, and most importantly, helping them grow their relationship with his God. 

You  can support Will's "giving back" goal by donating to the Cohutta Springs Youth Camp Will Green Scholarship below.
