Hi Jordan;
I was a camper and counselor at Peterkin in the 60’s-70’s. An amazingly fertile and creative time and formative for me. When I went to college at UNC and checked in with the college chaplaincy (a pretty dull experience) I recall thinking, “Why can’t this be more like camp?”
I appreciate your insights and agree completely. This is the beginning of an interesting vestry conversation for us here at St Thomas.
BTW, I wonder if I knew your folks at Peterkin?
Faithfully,

Lex,
Thank you for your comments! My parents are Becky Short and John Trumble. My mother was a camper in the 60s and early 70s and then my parents were both counselors in the mid-late 70s.
