2010 Summer Camp Registration
Mark you calendar. Camps are filling up fast!
 bye steve
Sad, but true, Associate Director, Stephen VanStee has left Caroline Furnace. He has spent almost 5 years in Fort Valley greeting retreat groups, keeping the buildings, machines and grounds in check and overseeing the summer camp program.
Steve's contributions to this ministry have helped us to continue to serve a great number of congregations, schools and other groups who come here to build community, focus goals and to grow closer to our Creator.
Steve has worked with 78 college age individuals who have come to spend their summer working here (two of them his daughters!) and had the opportunity to meet over 1600 campers during his 5 summers camp sessions. He has awarded golden brooms, been sunk at the water carnival, played Pharoah, Pharoah countless times, started many, many campfires and even bandaged a few wounds here and there.
We have been fortunate to have Steve here and we wish him well as he returns to the restaurant business, working with George Shaffer in Woodstock, VA. We will miss him and his wife Karen living above the office, but we are blessedthat Edinburg is not that far away.
PLEASE NOTE:
Unfortunately, the Confirmation for Small Congregations program for 2010 has been cancelled, due to lack of demand. We will be offering this program again in 2011, please contact our Executive Director, Pastor Wayne Shelor, if you are interested in joining this program.

Staff Reunion
 In October, we enjoyed a Staff Reunion celebrating 50 summer camp seasons at Caroline Furnace. The property was purchased in 1957, but the first summer camp wasn't held until the summer of 1959.
The Staff Reunion was blessed to have staff alumni from the earliest days to the most recent summer. We have had staff return with their kids as campers, such as Dennis Catron, and staff who have had their children serve on staff like Stephanie Platz Hudy. Some of the group have not returned to Caroline Furnace in a number of years and re-discovered how much this place means to them.
We were honored to have former full time staff Pastor Wayne Williams, Linda Walters and Cinde Eash Boyden and their families come for some of the festivities.
Please keep us updated on your contact information so we can keep you in touch with the happenings at camp.
