This poem posted to Poetry.com by Rachael Aubrey Chastain came up in a recent Google search. I think it speaks to the experience so many campers have had at the camp for more than a century. Thanks for the words, Rachael.
Here it is:
Delanco Camp
Delanco Camp has changed me inside.
I am so much more confident,
I have more Pride.I can feel great about my love for Jesus.
I have heard stories,
about how he freed us.I can hold out my hands when I sing praises.
I am not ashamed,
for God had saved us.Camp has brought another soul to God.
It taught us some things,
likes it’s okay to be odd.I learned that there are some boundaries too.
And that I should pray,
when I don’t know what to do.I’m going to Delanco again next year… As a member of staff
