Nicholas outside of "Mission Village" where his cabin was located. His cabin was named "Rhodes" after a Brethren missionary......at least, that's what he tells me.....

Meemaw and Nicholas inside the chapel Nicholas just spent 3 days at Grand Camp with Meemaw and Papa Carl. Grand Camp is an opportunity for children (ages 5-10) and their grandparents to attend church camp together. They had a great time. The camp is located at Camp Mack which is in Milford, Indiana. They had worship services, campfires (can you imagine.......in this heat?), group activities, crafts, lots of swimming, meals and next to no air conditioning. The Detwilers toughed it out the first night and stayed at the camp in a cabin with fans going just trying to get some decent sleep. The second night, they decided air conditioning was priority one so they drove back to Nappanee to sleep.
The main building at Camp Mack, Becker Lodge, was nearly destroyed by a fire on July 12 of this year. The building dated back to the 1920's. What a loss. No one was hurt but some major changes were made in order for the camp to continue running. The campers had previously eaten their meals in Becker Lodge so some large tents have been set up to accomodate meals and meal prep. It's amazing to me that the staff at Camp Mack, with a lot of help from volunteers, have not let this catastrophe slow them down in their efforts to provide meaningful camp experiences for children.
