Say the word "Camp" to any United Methodist in the North Alabama Conference and they will know instantly you mean the little 'place of rest and vision' near Gallant, Alabama. Memories immediately come to mind of the Chigger Bowl, Cabin #9, the Lake and the hike up the Mountain to the Cross and Chapel. We have memories of friends we made and will keep forever, the spiritual growth, and the 'Buttercup.' If you share these memories. . . take heart. This summer might be the last for anyone to have these experiences. Sumatanga is in a bad way financially speaking, but you can help. United Methodists and anyone who ever graced the assembly hall or lodge. . . get moving. Beg, borrow and steal (okay maybe not that last one.) Tell your congregation what is happening. They will respond. We just have to get the word out. Follow Sumatanga on Facebook, Twitter or whatever internet incarnation and get the word out and check your pockets for the cash this Institution. You know how much it means to you. I thank you, Sumatanga thanks you, and the future generations of campers thank you.
