I grew up at this camp and still hold it very dear to my heart! I was completely heart broken when I heard they were selling the camp. I was there that LAST Year the camp was open and was able to take my than 18 month old son to this sacred place. I still struggle finding a 'place' that he can experience the same wonderful things I did! It's a shame that the Wesleyan Church and representatives did not fight to keep this part of our rich history. I hope that ALL understand what a true loss this was to not only the organization, but to all of us who will forever have a hole in our hearts because of it. Thank you again for sharing the updated photos and helping all of us relive the Glory days of 'Summer Camp'heyyou510https://www.blogger.com/profile/16644762269327927531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236583324720329.post-62613232374858648742010-08-27T20:58:32.076-05:002010-08-27T20:58:32.076-05:00Thank you for sharing such a sweet memory.

I went to a girl's camp in Carrolton Ky. many times but never to a camp for the entire family. When our children were small we did camp a lot. Years ago when I was a visiting nurse I a patient at one of the family church camps in a neighboring county. I was always impressed with the set up.

I o...I loved reading your memories of church camp! I only went one year - it was an Episcopal camp and the boys were on one side of the lake and the girls on the other. Never the twain did meet except in the morning when three of them would row over to raise the flags on the flagpole (now why the girls couldn't beats me!). Afraid I only have two memories of camp though - one good and one absolutely horrible. First the good - I came from a very tiny town whose schools weren't integrated until I was in 10th grade. I was 12 when I went to camp and my very best friend there was an African American girl. I truly cried when we had to leave and go home. But the horrible came on the last day. It was a tradition for a girl to steal another girl's bra for the boys to raise on the flagpole the last day of camp. Yep, guess who's TRAINING BRA (probably 29AAA) went up the pole. I was totally mortified and wouldn't come out of my cabin until my parents came to pick me up LOL It seems funny now but it sure wasn't then!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698801749067092572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259236583324720329.post-4936726555712949202010-08-24T18:53:45.632-05:002010-08-24T18:53:45.632-05:00I should have known you are "camp."

I never was afforded the opportunity. However, this year I sent my 13 year old for the first time. Well he LOVED it. It was through the YMCA, and it was a wonderful experience. He too wants to be camp counselor someday. I was so worried all week about him. There was nothing more rewarding to me than picking him up and having him run up to me and give me a big hug, and tell me how AWESOME it was. Thanks for your input on the cursive thing.
