This was my cabin at New Life Camp when I was a camp counselor back in the early to mid '90's. I spent four summers in that cabin and loved every minute of it. The cabins were open air with wash sheds that were used for going to the bathroom and taking a shower. I loved sharing Jesus with all the girls that were assigned to my cabin all those summers. I got to watch as some of those girls became Jr. Counselors and then actual Counselors years after my time there. Watching them grow in the Lord and now have families of their own and raising their kids to love the Lord has truly blessed my heart beyond measure. I'm so thankful for social media in that regard because I've been able to keep up with so many of them. This is what the new cabin that sits where the old cabin was looks like:
It has indoor plumbing with an HVAC system. Definitely much nicer for today's kids then the rustic one that I had all those years ago.
Here's some more pics that I want to share of all the changes that have taken place at New Life Camp since my time there. I'm hoping to at some point to visit and see all the changes for myself up close and in person.
Let's start with this picture. The bottom portion is the dinning hall that I knew but the upper picture is the dinning hall all future generations will know:
This is an old picture that I'm sharing. |
This next one is of the Tabernacle. The first one is the one I knew and the second one is the one that all future generations will know.
The Tabernacle now sits where the maintinence building (pictured below) used to sit:
The bottom picture is of when it was first built and the second is of the Johnson men who all used that building for all the repairs of the camp just before they tore it down.
There are more updates than what I've shown you here but I don't have pictures to share with you of them. Suffice it to say that the camp I knew is gone and been replaced with a camp that is more conducive to how it runs now as compared to then. I will always have such fond memories of the way that camp was when I was there. I'm also hopeful for the years that the new camp will be able to run and accommodate all future endeavors of the camp and the souls that will be saved for Jesus because of all that they've done to improve camp for everyone! May God Greatly Bless All That Come There!!!
