Camp ToknowHim Cleanup
On May 7th, 2011, a team of Southwood students, parents, deacons, and elders went to Camp ToknowHim in Pisgah, AL to begin revitalizing the camp. Camp ToknowHim has served as the Winter Retreat destination for High-Life Ministry for the past 9 years, and our relationships with Roy and Ginny (camp owners) extending beyond 10 years. The team went with chainsaws, ATV’s, trailers, front-end loaders, and an artillery of other tools in order to clean up the devastation of the tornadoes. The main areas of concern were to salvage as much of the small group facility (the barn) as possible, to clear the hundreds of trees that are down on the camp, to clear the debris that was blown into the camp from surrounding areas, and to assist Roy and Ginny with cleaning up and fixing damage to their home. This will be an ongoing effort throughout the summer, so be on the lookout for more opportunities to serve!
