Camp 2007
In case you were interested, sorry my posting of our vacation went into a steep nose-dive. Took me about three days to actually work out where I could connect at camp, plus we took pretty much zero pictures until the last day.
Camp was great as always. The teaching, bible-study, fellowship and laughing together was superb. The new location (due to the Jewish group having purchased the old FCA camp near Turkey Run state park where we used to meet) in Roach, MO at Windemere Baptist camp was NOT so great.
The camp was designed more for middle-school/high-schoolers, of which, there were a-plenty. There was always a considerable line for the meals at the dining hall, and it was incredibly crowded and loud. There were more-often-than-not chants of "Take all you want, but eat all you take! Take all you want, but eat all you take!" Our group was not able to sit all together, we just had to do our best to find a place to sit and hear one another amongst all the other kids. I greatly missed our entire group having a smaller, more cozy area for just us.
We no longer had an actual chapel in which to hold our meetings and teaching. Instead, we had a large conference room that worked fine, but I definitely prefer the old meetin' place.
You have to love the sense of humor of the folks who attend with us - for example - on the first day when talking about how many things would be different, Dave Miller's quote of the day was, "We know that Camp 2007 is going to be a horrible failure, but we're going to make the best of it."
The fact that our room was comfortably large and attached to said conference room was a plus over the old camp. Another positive of the new camp was the large outdoor swimming pool that we used pretty much every day of camp.
I will greatly miss our brothers and sisters in Christ from Florida, Iowa, Arkansas, Maine... Camp and the people who attend with us feels more like the unified body of Christ than anything else I ever experience.
I highly recommend you pray about whether next year YOU are supposed to attend with us.
Like I said, I did not get many pictures at all, because it's just so much fun and you are so busy from the get go, that you kind of forget about your camera for awhile. We did get some pics right before leaving camp and we have a few videos of skit night which I'll try to post later. Plus, Damon Steele is going to try to put together some kind of camp blog maybe so people from the "Indiana Bible Conference" can post pics and stuff for mutual viewing enjoyment.
