Contact Me andrew+awp@sumatanga.andrewabernathy.com I would enjoy hearing from anyone I went to camp with. And if you have camp photos or directories you're willing to share here, great!

Sumatanga is a camp and conference center in Alabama run by the United Methodist Church. I was a camp counselor at eleven elementary camps at Sumatanga: 1984 (camp V), 1985 (camps V and VI), 1986 (camps V and VI), 1987 (camps I, II and V), 1988 (camps I and II) and 1991 (dunno which camp; possibly VI). I also came and visited Friday night/Saturday morning of other camps one or two years - the price the staff paid for the loan of a copy machine. :-) I met a lot of cool kids (from 12 to 19 years ago - I guess none of them are exactly kids anymore), and made a lot of great friends from the other counselors, directors and camp staff. Being a counselor was a HUGELY rewarding (and tiring!) experience.

I'd enjoy hearing from anyone from camp, especially if you owe me money. (Or if you smeared my belongings with toothpaste - you think you got away with that, but I'm patient.) You can email me here. I have some photos from camps in 1986, 1987 and 1991, and I have camp directories from every week I was there (although not all the names can be made out on these fading copies). I'd love to get other photos from when I was at camp, especially for those camps where I didn't get any photos of my own. Also, if anyone wants to go climb the hill next time I'm in town, I'm up for it!

I've listed below most of the campers in my groups (a few years I can't tell from the directories) and my co-counselors, as well as some of the staff and various other counselors, so that anyone googling for themselves might run across this; this list is not complete yet, but I'll get back to it soon. Also, I'll try to put up some more photographs before too long.
