Assignment #10

Identify a trend in Christian Camping and explain if it would be a good addition to Hidden Acres or not.

There are a lot of different trends that are out there some good and some bad.  The first thing that comes to my mind is ATVs.  I have two older brothers who love to ride their 4 wheelers all over and I haven't seen a lot of their age group out at the camp and really focus on them.  I feel that the age 20-30 tends to get overlooked and this is a age that loves to ride ATVs from my experience.  Hidden Acres has trails and they would be great for ATVs. 

A downside to this idea is that the camp roads and trails could get destroyed but if we could bring even one person to the Lord I think that a little road and trail damage is worth it.  I don't think that the camp should be open at all times for anyone to just bring out their ATV but make a weekend of it.  If we had a retreat for this group we would obviously not allow any other groups to be out here that same time due to the fact that ATVs make noise and most people find that annoying. 

I truly believe that if people see that we care about their interests enough for them to bring out their ATVs I think that would open up a whole new aspect of the camp.  Also we could have one retreat during the fall or spring then another in the winter for snowmobiles. 
This is what I would love to see at Hidden Acres.  I hope you enjoyed my thoughts.
