Ninety-five years and counting! Since its beginning in 1928, youth camping has been a primary point of connection, community, and leadership development for Community of Christ children and youth.  Although some things have changed drastically since the early 1900s, much of the camping program remains from those early days in Nauvoo, IL.  Join Karin Peter as she sits down with Wendy Eaton to get a peek into the historic beginning of camping in the Community of Christ. 

For Barb Walden’s lecture on “Community of Christ History in the Holy Land,” and more on the ministry of Elder Sordin, check out Episode 354: Historic Sites Foundation Autumn Lecture Series.
