Camp Stories: 2008

From Associate Regional Minister Bill Spangler-Dunning:

I know that camp has not even started but the stories have! Yesterday a
repairman came in to fix a machine in the kitchen but as he entered he had
that look of deep remembering. He explained to us that when he entered the
gates to Holy Ground he had to quickly call his sister on the cell phone
and say, "You won't believe where I am! I am at the Christian Conference
Center
- The place we went to camp together!" He explained to us that he
had gone to came at CCC through High School when he was a member at Park
Avenue Christian Church. I asked if he had kids and he said
yes. "Wouldn't it be great to give your kids the same experience?" I
asked? We found his picture on the online archive of camp pictures and he
seemed very happy to remember his time on holy ground and may have given
him reason to reconnect with the church he grew up in as well...

The same day a mother of 2 girls showed up randomly to show her daughters
where she went to camp... May there many more stories like these this
Summer....
