| Founded in 1953 By John Harvey Maple Born 1877 - Died 1961 |
In August of 1953 the Maple Family opened a portion of their land to about 40
young people for a Bible based camp. The first campers were from the Kingman
area. They payed $7.50 for a week of Bible study, fun, good food, and
developed friendships that have lasted a life time.
there was no electricity. The campers had it rough. They had to wash their own
dishes and there were no showers. They had to sleep in tents and in the back
of trucks.
The counselors were the area preachers and their wives. There have been
many people involved in the camp over the years. We would love to hear from
anyone that has some history of the camp that they would like to share.
We would like to know about the early years of the camp, the directors,
counselors, campers, and helpers. Any history, experiences, friendships or life
changes that you would like to share.
