The History of Camp Sumatanga (taken from the book "Our Sumatanga" by David N. Hutto, Jr. and Warren Hamby, Jr.)
The origins of a United Methodist camping ministry in North Alabama: “The North Alabama Conference youth camping program began in 1928, when Earl McBee, a youth worker in First Methodist Episcopal Church South, Ensley, was appointed Volunteer Director of an effort to hold summer camps for junior-highs…From 1928 until 1951, Methodist camps were held at various places owned by various organizations and church denominations.” |
