What a joy it is to see God at work in this special place called Twin Rocks Friends Camp. This past August, Pearl Pearson blew out the candles on a cake honoring Twin Rocks’ 90th birthday. Pearl first came to Twin Rocks in 1928, the year the Meetinghouse was constructed, and she returned for a portion of Family Camp in 2008!
Nine year-old Daisy Green was also at the 90th birthday celebration, and wrote: Family Camp makes me feel happy and it makes me feel like I’m at home when I’m not. Year after year, decade by decade, Twin Rocks’ ministry for Christ continues. As part of the birthday festivities, we asked campers: What has Twin Rocks meant to you? Here are portions of some responses we received:
I’ve been going to Twin Rocks ever since I was born, 13 years. It’s been great and really helps my relationship with God. I plan my whole year around this camp and wouldn’t miss it for the world. — Heather (high school student)
Sitting on a stump on Charlotte’s Mountain [in 1964] with Alice Hampton, in view of Twin Rocks down below out in the surf, I asked Alice to marry me. She said ‘yes.’ — Nick Maurer
God is real and evident here. — Dave & Ginger Brown
I remember brushing my teeth in the trough outside Hadley Hall, and walking down the path to the restrooms. — Maribeth Hampton
Our family has enjoyed Family Camp for 19 years in a row, and we plan on keeping up the tradition. — Nadine Miller
At the very first Girls Camp [in the 1940s], just before my 10th birthday, I wrote in my Bible that I accepted Jesus as my Savior. — Betty Comfort
It is a firm place in the storm of life; a place to regain your perspective; a place where the Spirit of the Lord often blows through to touch lives. — Dan Cadd
Every time I come here, I feel as if I am returning home. — Grace (high school student)
I’m tremendously grateful for the life-changing impact of Twin Rocks on so many campers across the generations. God is so gracious.
