1. Tomorrow Arrowhead Bible Camp turns 68 years old!
I will be 67 this fall. I spent a few summers at Arrowhead, the first when I was 10 years old, and the last in 1964, right after I graduated from high school. Would love to see some photos from the "good old days" if you have any.
ReplyDeleteThanks and God bless Arrowhead!
