Camp Victory

Each year at Camp Victory, there was a specific theme. The year that stand out the most in my mind is the "Pirates" themed year. John Berger was on the counselor team that year. Each morning in our "group" time the counselor team would put on various skits.

After the morning skits, John would adametly deny having been a part of the skit. That is part of the fun in the memory. Many people who came a part of the Camp Victory counselor team returned to Haiti for full time ministry, Bruce and Cindy McMartin, John Berger, Mary (Millan) Beerley just to name a few. I am sure there were many more.

My first Camp Victory

Do you remember the days of Camp Victory? We could not wait for the day we were finally old enough to acually go to camp (8yrs) and oh the fun we had. Songs, stories, games, activites, feeling so grown up to be off to camp for a week.

I have to laugh. My first camp was on the Bolosse campus so I was only about 1,000 or so feet from my house but I felt so grown up! I cannot tell you my counsolor's name but I remember her, a funny and happy woman. She made us laugh all through camp.

I remember all the campers got split up into color teams. My team did a skit that year about a bus ride or something and we lined up on stage and each had a speaking part and mine was to say some line about sweet peas and shrug my shoulders. Ah the memories . . .
