Camping a Happy Experience for Two Ornery Boys

Last year Levi Rhoades and Nick Tier went to Camp Aldersgate for a five night camp called “Just Camp.”  They were bunk mates and shared a cabin with eight boys and their counselor.  The counselor was a seminary student from Wales, so the boys thought it was cool that he had a “Harry Potter” accent. 

They did many great activities like hiking, swimming and canoeing.  They played games, sang songs, and had Bible studies each day.  They spent one night under the stars in the woods and making their own food on the fire.

When we picked them up on Friday, they were tired, dirty and happy.  This was their third East Ohio Camp experience.  They had gone to Camp Aldersgate once before and also to Camp Wanake.

If any of the children have any questions they would like to ask Levi or Nick about their camping experiences, I’m sure they would be glad to answer them for you.

Brochures and registration forms are available on-line at www.EastOhioCamps.org  or stop by the church office  during regular hours.
