What does Camp Ba Yo Ca mean to APC?
Words from Kathy Patty:
Camp has been in my heart since I was five years old. My family used to take our summer vacations at camp. My dad would work on whatever needed to be fixed, my mom was the camp nurse, and we kids would camp. I was a camper, a counselor, and a staff. When my children got old enough to go to camp, we would go up, and they would camp all summer, and I would cook. The joke for my family is that I could make 300 homemade biscuits but couldn’t make twelve. This summer, I will go and cook, and my granddaughter will camp, which means four generations in my family have been blessed to serve and attend Camp Ba-Yo-Ca. Thank you for supporting our local camp!
