A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Camp – 23C – SATELLITE CAMPS


Calvin Crest was running satellite programs for several weeks at Westminster Woods.   We would train both staffs during Orientation Week at Calvin Crest and send The Woods staff off up north for the rest of the summer.   We would encourage the two staffs to support and pray for each other throughout the summer.   We also did this when Camp Corralitos was a satellite program in San Jose Presbytery and at Camp Mattole near Eureka, California.  This was like franchising our camp model in several different camps in California.

            Towards the end of one summer, the Calvin Crest High School staff had made plans to drive all the way to Westminster Woods, about five hours each way, after the evening campfire to raid on the staff there.  They were going to turn around and come right back.   Obviously, when I was made aware of this happening I could not believe it.  They were supposedly going to leave all the campers on the grounds for ten hours?   The staff had many creative program ideas and options through all the different years.   This was not one of them!
