Our first church camping experience at Presbyterian
Camps in Saugatuck was in 1980. August 2005 will
be our 25th summer. Some interesting statistics:
170 of those listed in our recent church directory
have been to Saugatuck We have had an age range
of 6 months to 89 years We have celebrated engagements,
birthdays, wedding anniversaries and baptisms
Vince and Doris Potenza's children have established
a scholarship endowment for our church in memory
of the wonderful time their parents had at Saugatuck.
While we have enjoyed the facilities of the camp
in all seasons of the year, we have not just been
takers. We have given back to the camp by :
Providing staff for the camp; Assisting with
remodeling of Calvin; Remodeling Mayflower into
an all-weather
cabin providing both the funds and the labor;
painting and roofing some of the older cabins;
building,
sanding and staining
bunk beds;
designing & providing
material for a 9-hole Disc Golf Course in memory
of Lee Schroeder. |
