The camp day started with morning push-ups and a run around the camp before breakfast. There was Bible study in the morning and cabin clean-up in the slab buildings with the straw mattress. In the afternoon there was sleep time for a hour and craft time. There were ball games and swimming in the river. Then there was suppertime (the meals were good and then evening service.

1957 A new cabin was built by Herman Wiebe and Walter Simpson and added to the camp facilities which now consisted of the arch-roofed tabernacle, the kitchen, slab cabins, two outhouses, speaker's cabin and four new lumber cabins. Materials were ordered and new tick were sewn up. 1959 A fifth new cabin was built to help out the 105 campers that attended this year. Over half the camper were new this year. 1960 Another new cabin was built in Mr. Wiebe's yard and transported to the camp site. Two camps were held this year one being a children's camp and the other a teen camp. 1964 This summer during teen camp the swimming pool was started. The concrete was mixed and hauled by hand to form the walls. The pool bottom was plastic covered with sand. The floor was added in 1966. 1965 Later that summer, after camp time, the group from Deadwood Gospel Fellowship went to the camp site. Mr. Metro Goodzeck remembers, "we came up for a picnic and it started to rain so we moved into the chapel and moved everything to the side to play games. The Lord was saving the things from being destroyed in the snow." This relocation later saved the furniture when the roof collapsed after a very heavy snow fall. |
