CAMP BURTON IS 100 YEARS OLD!
We celebrated Camp's Anniversary on June 14th, 2009.
We shared photographs, old brochures, stories, and memories on the
big day. It was a pleasure to see so many friends of Burton who came out
to honor the 100 years of fellowship.
We had great food, music - courtesy of the University Baptist Choir, and
smores and songs at the campfire. Thanks to all who were able to join us
to celebrate Camp Burton.

I AM BURTON ASSEMBLY
from a July 30 - August 10, 1928 program
Leader: I am Camp!
#1: I am sunlight, a sheen on the water, a mist on the mountains, and stars.
#2: I am a doorway out of the commonplace into a vast new adventuring
experience.
#3: I am a place where youth learns the joy of play without a sting, of fellowship
without regrets, and of a good time that leaves no headache--or heartache--behind.
#4: I am a new purpose for life that will make the years different.
#5: I am Noise - and silence with a thrill in it.
#6: I am Laughter - and quiet resolution that seeks the comfort of the hills.
#7: I am Energy - and the touch of loving service.
#8: I am Youth - and the slowly emerging habits that make matured experience
worthy.
#9: I am Today - and also Tomorrow that is being shaped.
#10: I am Habits, Ideals, Ways of Living, Confirmed attitudes, in the South of Youth.
Leader: Because I am all these, and more, I would invite you into fellowship with
me. Come with me, youthful and eager reader of these lines, and I will do you good.
All: Good that passes not away. Good that temptation will not dislodge.
Good that time will not chill. Good that poverty will not quench.
Good that riches will not deceive.
Leader: Come with me this summer and life for you will be the same no more.
All: I AM CAMP!
