DECEMBER CAMP OUT
Yes, our Christmas Campout is this coming weekend, Nov 30 to Dec 2. We will be returning to Short Mountain again which is just the other side of Woodbury. We stay in cabins (with beds) at the church camp and eat our meals in their dining hall. We usually have a little snow. We do some service project work on Saturday morning and then take a hike on Saturday afternoon. Bring your favorite board game along. We will have a huge meal (prime rib with all the fixin’s) on Saturday night. Family members are invited. After supper, we will have a short Christmas service. Traditionally, we have exchanged small gifts ($5-$10) Participation in the gift exchange is optional. Cost: $18 for all meals for the weekend; $10 if you come for Sat supper only. Be sure and sign up this Monday night and list all guests so we can get a good count for food. We will meet at the Eagle’s Nest at 5:30 PM on Friday and will leave at 6:00 PM. We will return by 11:30 AM on Sunday.
Directions to Short Mountain
Follow Hwy 70 (Woodbury Hwy) through Woodbury toward McMinnville. Approximately 5 miles past Woodbury, turn left on State Hwy 281 (Center Hill Road). Approximately 2 miles turn left on State Hwy 146 (Short Mountain Road). Go approx 5 miles to community of Short Mountain and watch for Short Mountain Church of God Bible Camp sign. Turn left at the sign (I believe it is Gunter Hollow Road.) Follow steep, narrow road to the top of Short Mountain. Turn right at the Bible Camp sign on to a gravel road. Continue on the road for about a half mile to the camp.
