SUNNY KINK BIBLE CAMP PLANNING
TWO CAMPING SESSIONS THIS SUMMER
Work on the new Bible camp
at Knik has progressed so rapidly
this summer that the staff of the
Sunny Knik Bible Camp is able
to set two camp dates for this
season, it was announced this
week.
The camps will be held as fol
lows: August 6-11 for girls aged
7 through 14 years; August 13-14
for boys in the same age group.
On Sunday, August 11 and
again oh August 18, all parents
of the campers, friends and vis
itors, are invited to the services
to be held at the camp. Morn
ing worship and Sunday School
will start at 10 a.m. and a special
fellowship service will be held at
2:30 p.m. Those attending are in
vited to take a picnic lunch and
spend the day at the camp. Hot
drinks and Koolaid will be fur
nished.
The Sunny Knik Bible Camp
is located 26 miles from Palmer
and 15 miles from Wasilla, on the
-Knik-Goose Bay Road. It is on
Burden homestead adjoining the
old townsite of Knik on the
south. The camp is being built
on the south end shore of Knik
Lake.
An area has been cleared for
a scenic camping ground and the
40- by 20-foot kitchen and din
ing room building is nearing
completion. This building will be
used for classes and a meeting
place for the campers.
Two cabins will be completed
during the next two weeks and
fhe site will be ready for the
campers in August.
All work, materials, and finan
ces have been donated in this
venture to build an interdenom
inational camp for youths of all
ages. It is hoped that the camp
ing season may be started earlier
next year to accommodate a
greater age group.
Olaf Backman, graduate of
Prairie Bible Institute of Three
Hills, Alberta, Canada is the
Bible camp’s first director. Two
other young men on the camp
staff are two students from
P.B.I., Pat Cohen of Anchorage
and Robert Grover of Matanus
ka. Other- staff members include
Walter Main of California who
came to Alaska from California
as a prospective homesteader
looking for work. Finding no
work he volunteered to help
huilu and work in the camp. He
will be in charge of the camj.
kitchen with Mrs. M. B. Tyler of
Calgary as his assistant. Mrs.
iyler arrived at the camp June
28.
There are 22 camp staff mem
bers and children at Knik, with
this number growing each week.
Mr. and Mrs. John Grassmick and
their seven children came to
Knik in 1956 from Alberta. They
and two other families are on the
full-time staff of the camp. The
Sherman Andersons and son Dale
are at Knik from Washington.
The Chet Burden family, Knik
residents since 1948 when they
homesteaded the Knik property,
round out the permanent staff.
The group is hoping to start a
permanent church in the future.
This past June they established
Sunday School and church ser
vices for the Knik area. Thes_
services are being held in a tem
porary building. Services will be
held on the camp grounds while
camp is in session.
