I grew up going to Camp Challenge in the ’70s. I went every year and when I was in 7th grade I met a very nice, kind of shy girl from Indianapolis named Rita. Most years at camp and at state youth functions I saw this young lady. I lived in New Albany. My senior year at camp, Rita and I got together and the first of July, 2009, we will have been married 31 years. We have quite a few friends that met their future spouse at camp.
Camp Challenge is a great place to develop and deepen your relationship with Christ but it is also a place to develop relationships with people your own age. These relationships will transcend the years because when you see these people, you are almost immediately transported back to the “camp years” and you pick up almost where you left off. My wife Rita and I love camp challenge and it has been a joy to watch our boys, Joshua and Brandon go to camp there.

The incredible network of people that you have once you leave camp.
I moved two hours away from home to go to college, but I have never felt homesick because of all the friends that I had made at camp that live in Indianapolis. I may have only seen them one week a summer every year but they are definitely like my family. They opened their houses to me so I now have a home away from home.
