- On May 3, 6 camp directors for this summer, 7
board members, and manager Bill Hare, worked
with program director Lisa Fike in enjoying a
model Day at Camp, at Camp Emmaus. The group
had a morning watch by the lake, enjoyed
discussion time over scripture, did crafts, ate a
picnic lunch, and had a devotional “campfire”. It
was a great way for the board and directors to get
to know each other better and share ideas.
Another Day of Camp, open to area camp
supporters, will be held in September.
- The spring-fed lake at camp withstood the long
and bitter winter well, and all the fish survived.
Many other lakes had much fish loss. So come on
out and throw in a line! The pool is in a lovely
open setting, has a lifeguard on duty, with hours of
1-3 p.m., and a cost of $2 per person. Open swim
dates are June 22 and 29; July 6, 13, 20, 27, and
Aug. 3.

unrestricted scholarships to potential campers
