Quaker Haven offers beauty and tranquility

By JEREMY BEER Quaker Haven, located on the east side of Dewart Lake, is an incredibly busy place during the summer months. Its beauty and tranquility allows a person a chance to "regroup to face the world," says Tish along with her husband. Jerry, manages the camp During the course of the year, nine youth camps — each running for one week — meet at Quaker Haven. A keen-age camp that is only for those 55 or older meets for a week once a year at Quaker Haven, along with three familycamps that have week-long meetings as well. These three types of camps, youth, keen-age. and family, are organized, meaning they have schedules. They are meant to be spiritually uplifting. and are run by the Quaker Church. Many churches that send children to youth camp pick up anywhere from 50-75 percent of the tab Not only Quakers use the haven's facilities, though During the weekends, individuals or individual families often stay at the camp, family reunions are staged. church retreats are planned, and n any other groups use the accommodations These people come ‘rom all denominations and

from many parts of the Midwest, including Eastern Illinois. Western Ohio, as far north as Traverse City. Mich., and as far south as Evansville. The camp's capacity on a weekend, according to Dain. is around 600. Quaker Haven includes an RV area (which is usually full'. 12 cabins, two retreat centers, and three cottages to rent in the off-season During the winter, only about 50 people inhabit the camp on weekends, but as many as 140 have utilized the facilities on a given winter weekend. Not many groups stay at the haven for a full week during the off-season, but one exception is the Grace College Men's Basketball Team During the fall. Coach Kessler brings his team to the camp for a working retreat, which includes Bible, study and direction in the handling of situations they might encounter on the basketball floor. Tish and Jerry- Dain are the full-time, year-round camp managers. Dan Bauer is the assistant manager. As managers, their main responsibility is administration as well as making sure that the camp is well-kept They have lived on Dewart Lake for 13 years and are

currently involved with their 12th camping season. The Dains attend the Dewart Lake Community Friends Church which meets at Quaker Haven. Quaker Haven is owned by two yearly "meetings ". the Western Yearly Meeting, and the Indiana Yearly Meeting. Tim Harding is the assistant superintendent of the Western Meeting. He is responsible for camp programs, bringing in counselors for certain camps, and for scheduling As Harding explains, the goal of the organized youth camps is to challenge kids to a deeper relationship with Christ. The camp hopes to accomplish this through speakers, simulations, and one-on-one counseling Harding thinks that the lake is a benefit to personal talks because a counselor and camper can get away and be alone in a canoe. Dain believes that the camp staff, along with herself, her husband, and the counselors, should make it a priority to "make camp a good experience for the first-time youth camper." For this reason, it is important to her that the summer staff provides a good witness to youth campers, and they usually do. Dain estimates that 75 percent of former staff members are now involved in

some kind of public serviceoriented occupation, or are involved in Christian work. Maintenance of the camp is meaningful to Dain because she believes that beauty and peacefulness are important to campers, especially adults. For them to get all they can out of the camp experience, says Dain. thev need an atmosphere that is

PRESENT MUSIC AND TESTIMONY — Calvary United Methodist Church. SR 13 South. Syracuse, will be host for a special evening of Christian music and testimony on Sunday. July 23. Dennis and Cathv (Cobbumi Ticen will bring their brand of contemporary music in an evening concert at 7:30 pan. The theme for the evening will be "What About the Love?" Much of the music will be centered around experiencing the love of God. If God loves me. so what? What does that mean? Can I really feel God's love? Can I show it to others? These are the questions from which the concert will spring. The Ticens are both recent graduates from Ball State University . Dennis is a former director of a children's choir, and.a traveling you th choir, the King s Kids from Rossville. Together they have recently begun a musical ministry of encouragement to retirement centers in the Muncie area. They will both attend Asbury Theological Seminary in the fall.

conducive to rest and relaxation. Right now, Quaker Haven is trying to improve their camp by "winterizing" Hunt Lodge, which is located near the entrance to the camp. A-meeting room and a kitchen are being added on to the building by volunteers. Dain feels it is important to point out that nearly all the buildings on the camp were built by volunteer labor.

Ar / MISSION WORK CONTINUES — Saint Martin DePorres Catholic Church, Syracuse. collected 51.600 on July 2to purchase a used ambulance. The ambulance will be taken to the Yucaton area of Mexico.
