Opis

You will enjoy this fascinating story of Camp Oak Hill's 40 year journey, done with a blending of historical data and colorful personal testimonies from 100 campers, counselors, board members and others. You will recognize that this place, these programs and these people called Camp Oak Hill (COH) are a blessing. From serene morning watch to rambunctious Run for the Roses, campers find fun, faith and friendships. A camper cried out: "I had the best 2 weeks of my life. I grew closer to God; I met so many amazing people." A counselor tattles that "my brothers lived for their time at camp, as if a week at COH was the motivation to get through the rest of the year." A retreat leader was awed by "the number of kids who made first time decisions for Christ... honestly I have seen over and over that something powerful happened in those kids' lives." COH has a longing to shape and mold the younger generation. Campers see Christian counselors having tons of fun and living life to the max. Camp is synonymous with friendships: "I'm amazed now at 40 years of age, the extent that my time and relationships formed at camp still shape my life." The activities, meals, quiet time, campfires and devotions fill a camper's time, but their counselor's and God's love fills their hearts. You begin to sense the wonder and power of the "little camp that could." "Look what God has done" (Numbers 23:23) - it's more than a week at camp
