Happy New Year! Remember Camp in your New Year resolutions - helping it to be a better place, Camp wants children from all over the world to continue to enjoy and prosper inside our gates. Think of all the new smiles that will be made in 2009!

A Special Thanks to all the 2008 Camp Staff for all their hard work and tireless efforts. Much was accomplished in cleaning up the storm damage - but more important than that - was supplying one of the very best summers in years. The summer staff was experienced and willing to really work hard to make sure that every camper had a great time. [See survey results in column to the right.] Brice Emanuel and his entire staff should be congratulated for their efforts. Drop them a note and thank them - officeeb@aol.com. If everyone just sent a short note - they would really understand how much they are appreciated.

Thanks to all the Alumni for all their donations and help throughout 2008. Please remember us in 2009. Dues will stay only $40 - so please send them today - www.campeb.org/alumni/aaform.htm Your Alumni Association remains strong because of you. Thanks for being there when you were needed!

If you would like to have a party, family reunion, corporate outing, or a team building experience - the winter is one of the best times to do it. All sorts of activities can be planned and executed by our staff. Call us at 269-244-5125 for more information!

Your Alumni Association has purchased trees for the entrance to camp. Makes coming to camp a new experience and a much better drive into and out of camp. Thanks to the camp staff for handling the all the planting labor. Also the Alumni Association purchased, with the help from One-Touch Automation, additional security systems for camp. Thanks to Rachael and Ryan McDaniel for their help!
