Imagine sitting around the campfire on a warm summer evening, listening to personal stories about life at Church Camp as told by the campers themselves. Many of these experiences have made a life long impact on young campers. Relationships can develop at camp which deepens a persons maturity and prepares them to become future church leaders. Sharing these experiences can help us better understand others and the social culture from which they come. Listen now as they share with us their most impressionable moments at camp. |
Many years ago I attended the Church of the Brethren in Huber Heights Ohio. The pastor’s name I believe was Carl Baughman. I remember being excited about attending Woodland Alters and seeing the Serpent Mound as well. We slept in Hogan’s and there were wild dogs and ticks in the worst possible places to worry about. I remember the pastor had to remove a tick from someone and felt sorry for both the pastor and the person. We hung our food up high so the dogs would not eat it. I never felt unsafe or lacked for excitement.
We also ate “hobo” stew and did many things that to this day have stayed with me. I really remember
the people and the feelings more so than the actual activities. It really gave
me a feeling of fellowship even as a child.
