Separation v.s. Accommodation in a camp ministry
When looking at a camp ministry and incorporating separation or accommodation I believe that there is a big difference. With separation your camp would be rustic and very basic. This would also cut out all of the worldly distractions; for some people this would be a good thing. People also like this type of camp because it is perfect for seclusion they would not experience in their normal day.
I think that in todays society people are looking to get away to a camp but not to be completely cut off from the outside world. Hidden Acres is more this because we do have t.v. with cable, wireless internet, a inn, indoor swim pool, and indoor gym. These accommodations keep guests happy. It is also nice for guests that we have so many options because when it is nice out they can go to the pond or mini golf but if it is raining they have the options of playing in the FLC swimming, playing games, or playing in the gym. If you still want seclusion you have the opportunity to go off by yourself and find a calming spot to spend time with the Lord.
Overall neither one of these options are bad its just what a person prefers. I personally would go to a modern camp before I would go to a rustic camp. I hope you enjoyed my thoughts.
