Dear Friend of Camp,
This year has been unlike any other year in camp history. For the first time since 1940, campers were not on property for weeklong summer programs. The decision to not run summer programs was a difficult but necessary. Summer program leadership did a great job of making online content for the campers to enjoy. Covid continues to have an impact on our ministry as most groups are uncomfortable gathering.
In the midst of all the hardship and reduced attendance we still get letters reminding us of the ways God has used camp in people’s lives.
“I am in eighth grade and I’ve visited your camp twice through Dock Mennonite Academy’s Outdoor Classroom experience in sixth and seventh grade. When we were told in Bible class that we were going to write words of encouragement to an organization we appreciate to work with our quarter theme of “words matter” and class theme of being a good neighbor like the Good Samaritan, you came to mind immediately. In both of the times I’ve visited your camp, I’ve had an absolute blast and never wanted to leave! I made friends and lasting memories running around on the grounds, making the most of the days and opportunities that you delivered. Above all, the time at your camp has brought me closer to God in an unparalleled way, mainly through the campfire experiences and your teachings. I’m going to miss the joy you’ve brought me this year (since eighth grade doesn’t go to Outdoor Classroom) but you’ve made such an impact on my social and spiritual life that you won’t be forgotten. Thank you for everything you do and I hope you continue so other kids can feel the same way I have.”
