So I guess things are changing. What every the majority wants to do sure suits me.......I can eat fish most anywhere lol. Anybody up for a summer camp?

It used to be that someone just picked a lake and a date and everyone who wanted to showed up. That was long before FJ's ever started. Heck, anyone could throw together a camp and just say come on if you want.

Great list, thx
Mary and I plan to come if it's in Grenada, but if the majority want it somewhere else, that would be great as well. I haven't been able to make many in the past, but look forward to more in the future..

Chris, I only see 8 people on that list that continue to come to camp, including Taylor and Pete who were with me.

**majflyboy** · 05-22-2013, 05:27 PM

There is a constant turnover. New faces = new friends.

**DonDon** · 05-22-2013, 06:19 PM

And new people to mess with lok

My first year was 2008 I think but I've had crap going on the last 3. 2 weddings n a vacation

The one I've been able to go to was pretty good (all the others have been scheduled on drill weekends or I was out of the country) but I do know of one individual that told me he would never go to another camp because a couple guys really made him feel like he wasn't welcome.

""I do know of one individual that told me he would never go to another camp because a couple guys really made him feel like he wasn't welcome.""

Be a bigger A in front of them next time. I haven't seen a contest for that role yet.

On another forum, another state for a camp n fish weekend I think every preacher in the area was there. 6 Mississippi boys won't be going again. Some of the members told us we weren't welcomed to return.
