We had about ten f amities a l] ready to go to "FAMILY CAMP' ' th is sun1mer . . . bu t ala ! ... none of our camp 1 were pl anning a "FAMI LY W EEK ". Wha t a d i appointn1ent ! The purpose of thi let ter is to encou rage our Ohio Regul a r Baptist Camp trustees to consider w ith 1n uch thought a "FAMILY WEEK" at our camp . Counsellors aren ' t needed for a "FAMI LY WEEK " camp , as parent are ther e to take care of their own child ren . It just requires someone to take care of the spiritual teaching, a nd a cook, and I imag ine a lifegua rd for swimming. Wha t a wonder ful time it was and how we lo ng for this expe ri ence aga in. We would just Jove to hear that a ll three camps, if possible , are plan11ing to offer a ' 'FAMILY WEEK ''. Wha t a th r ilJ ! But, if just one would be willing to t ry it, we would travel t he re to enj oy the ric h blessings it brings fo r our famil y.
