What can I say about Camp Deerpark<\/a>? Camp Deerpark is the place where I got to meet the Savior, in a place that is so peaceful and wholesome. The many people I met there have become a part of who I am today. I have so much love for former campers and staff. Campers like Tiffany Powell, who has grown up to have a successful career with a Ph.D. in education. Counselors like Lanny Millette, who was the guy who taught me how to row a boat and truly study the Word of God. Frank and Barb Freeman, Isaac Grable, Eugene “Biggie” Davis, Marvin Scott, Eddie Scott, Jackie Buck, Jackie Oreo and so many others influenced my life.<\/p>\n\n\n

I enjoyed camp so much I went for 20 years, starting with being a camper at around age 15, to working as a counselor and then a director. God is good, and he has been so good to me. This is the place where so many city children have been exposed to a culture of peace and love. Camp Deerpark is the place where the soul of a child is cultivated, and grows in the knowledge of the Lord. The Bible says: “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6 (KJV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I pray that every person who comes through Camp Deerpark has a life of challenges and accomplishments, but knows there are pitfalls and tests they must go through. Prepare yourself for the journey. God Bless!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
