Camper Memories From The Early Years

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

loudspeaker, then trying to sleep until

“Reveille” sounded in the morning

 

—Julie (Mummert) Martin
