One of our alumni shared this acrostic poem she wrote summarizing her memories of camp!
Camper memories from the early years:
Changing clothes several times during the day and dressing up for evening chapel
A.M. flag raising before breakfast
Memorizing 300 verses to earn FREE camp
People who became friends for a week or for a lifetime
Jerry Traister – the visionary man God used to begin the camp ministry
Opportunity to share a testimony at the campfire
Yummy food – “take all you want but eat all you take”
Enthusiastic singing in chapel and on the bus to and from swimming at JB
Lights out as “Taps” played across the loud speaker, then trying to sleep until “Reveille” sounded in the morning
—Julie (Mummert) Martin
