Why go to Camp?

Hiking to the creek to build a dam with rocks or to catch crayfish, sleeping under the stars at the campout, building a fire to cook foil lunches or to use for candle making, making baskets or toolboxes with their own hands, learning archery and woodsmanship, singing and skits at campfire… these are what a boy or girl will remember for a lifetime. For a week, campers quickly forget about TV and loud radios, video games, traffic, and neon signs, and learn about what is really fun. Camp is much the same as it was 60 years ago when names such as Meahl, Brown, Easley, and Mekeel were given the opportunity and took it. It’s still rustic and simple, with Adirondack shelters and screened-in lodges.
