Greetings from "Camp Allendale".
This is a 180 acre church camp located in the rolling hills of Trafalgar, Indiana. You are probably wondering what on earth are we doing at this church camp!
We are volunteering our many talents. David is enjoying himself visiting with the guys, mowing, visiting with the guys, painting, visiting with the guys,
checking out the air conditioning in the lodges, visiting with the guys. Did I mention that David likes visiting with the guys. :-)
I am relaxing, reading, exploring the grounds, helping in the dinning hall and riding the golf cart we were given to use during our stay here.
David and I were camped at the KOA in Crawfordsville, IN. during June and July. We went to this area to be closer to Chad and his family. In July, Chad was spending a week at Camp Allendale with his youth group. Chad needed help from David setting up the chapel with a sound system, lighting and a smoke machine.
DINING HALL/CHAPEL
While helping Chad, David got re-acquainted with Michael Proctor, the Maintenance Manager. (We have a history with Michael. We went to church with him in Keokuk. He and Chad grew up together).
David approached Michael with the idea of us spending a few weeks volunteering at the camp before we return to Biloxi for the winter. In return for volunteering, our camping is free. Our meals are furnished when ever they have campers on the grounds.
THERE ARE FIVE MINI LODGES
In one of the wooded areas of the grounds there are four tree house dorms. These are really cool.
In another area of the woods they built Fort Allendale. In here there are two Log Lodges.
CEDAR LODGE
We are truly enjoying the peaceful setting here and will miss everyone when we leave in October.
BEACH AND DOCK
Be watching for the photos of David and I getting a beauty make over at the Koeber house.
