Along the paths of Camp Emmaus
As you read this, senior high camp, under the direction of Sara Garner and Aaron Gerdes, has recently ended. As expected in an NYC year has taken its toll on the number of registered campers.
Elementary II and Elementary III camps together assembled 70 health kits to be sent to needed areas. They challenged the junior high camp to put together 70 kits.
The new pool project waits for state approval. Until then, the present pool operates with availability every Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m. for open swim.
County health inspectors reviewed the facilities, and Camp Emmaus received a 100% grade.
A good selection of Camp Emmaus t-shirts and sweatshirts are for sale in the lodge, in adult and youth sizes. Some new designs and colors, as well as old favorites fill out the selections.
The camp board expresses its sympathy and show of support to the management and staff of Camp Mack in Indiana; Becker Lodge was very severely damaged by fire in July. Earlier this year, our local fire department in Mt. Morris visited Camp Emmaus to become more familiar with the layout of the facilities, in case of fire. Some improvements in the camp lodge may be made, for added safety considerations.
Thanks to Don Hart for his time this summer in doing project work at camp. Also, thanks to the area Church of the Brethren congregations for their work in the late spring to ready the lodge and facilities for campers.
Sympathies are extended to the family of Howard Byer, of Dixon, who died on July 6 at age 93. Howard was superintendent of construction for many of the building projects at camp, audited the books for years, and donated his green truck (which still chugs right along) for camp use.
The Camp Emmaus Appreciation Dinner is scheduled for Saturday, September 11, for all who’ve supported the camp in so many ways.
Please keep Camp Emmaus in your prayers, for those who guide and attend camps, and for the greatly needed, and long-awaited, official approval from the state to begin the new pool construction.
