Camper mid-late seventies -
Camp Au Sable is one of the best memories I have growing up! I had my own horse, and a good life at home, but the wonderful week at camp was incredible each summer, a spiritual mountain top to never be forgotten. I’m sure it helped me become the outdoor enthusiast that I am also.
Jan Sawyer was one of my counselors. I still have my Steps to Christ with the personal inscription that she gave each of us. 
I can’t remember the other gals that had my cabins really, but they were nice. There were lots of Slickers on staff during those days. I’ll always fondly remember the campfires looking out over the lake and shouting, “Hold the Fort!” I love Camp Au Sable! Made me cry to look at your pictures, though they are very different. Do you still have the enormous canoe hanging up in the craft building and the wonderful big dinning lodge above the beach?

In a recent North American Division survey, summer camp experience was one of the strongest factors in common with all levels of church employees. I am in that catagory. I was a public high school student looking for summer work. I applied to work at camp, and for some reason, only known by God, I was accepted. That decision has changed my life. I enjoyed young people and became a teacher, and have served the Adventist Church ever since.
It was one of the best times of my life. The friends we made and the memories and stories are still told every time we see each other. But most of all it was a time of spiritual commitment and renewal.
I was at camp again just two weeks ago, March of 2010, as a guest speaker. Every time I come back, the memories and the commitment are reenforced.
Best wishes to all of my friends and campers from the past 35 years! God bless!

It was my privilege to spend 19 summers at Camp Au Sable between 1983 and 2003, with only two summers off … one to get married and the other for Seminary. I spent most of that time as program director, producing many campfire plays and dramas that have been used all over the country. My favorite time at camp was after the Friday night program as campers gave their lives to Christ. Camp Au Sable was my spiritual home all through high school and into my years of pastoring. Walking the boardwalk around the lake has resulted in many life-changing moments for me. Most importantly those walks have led me to serve as the Washington Conference Youth Director and Director of Sunset Lake Camp. It’s been 25 years of camp ministry for me this summer … and I’m still loving every minute of it.

Camp AuSable was where I grew up in my teen years. I met lifelong friends and married another Camp Staff member Terry Harrington. We talk often and fondly of camp and now that we are retired perhaps one day our truck and horse trailer will stop by and ride the trails again.

I have been coming to camp au sable for the past 12 summers and I love it! Every summer you have the chance to meet so many new people. I don’t think the staff at camp au sable realize what an impact they make on the people that come to camp. I am so glad that God has provided a place like camp au sable. And even if I stop going to camp au sable, I will NEVER FORGET the friends and memories that I have made!
Camper 2005 - 2010
I love CampAuSable, it is a good best Christian camp I have ever been to. CampAuSable taught me to grow closer to God, and I can’t wait to go this year. It’s the most wonderful, most exiting, most spiritual camp I’ve been to. I hope to see you there.

I had the privilage of attending camp for 3 different summers! One year I was one of “Paula’s Princesses.” Paula was a great counselor! Those times are still some of my favorite memories! I love Camp Au Sable! I feel that Camp Au Sable is a place of impact! It can change kids lives! I now am honored and delighted to be able to send my own daughter to camp! She loves it! In fact, she has planned out her camp attendance for the next several years! And yes, she has already said she’d like to work at Camp Au Sable when she is old enough! So, Pastor Ken, Meghan Fleetwood will be calling you in a few years!

I love working at Camp, the nature surrounding CAS brings me closer to God every time I go up there, you can truly feel God’s presence when you are there.
Staff 25yrs and counting - 2010
I keep coming back to camp because I get a greater blessing in serving the campers rather than being a camper. I’m 64yrs old now and love camp and Jesus more than ever. Every child should have a chance to go to summer camp.
Staff 2007 - 2010
I have been a Counselor and class instructor at Camp Au Sable going on four summers now. I have been touched by every cabin I’ve ever had, and it has been a privilege to hang out with so many awesome kids. It was also amazing teaching the first fishing class in 2009!
I was also a camper at Au Sable for years. I was a camper in Doug Taylor’s cabin one summer, and he posted in the forum, as well. It’s funny how things wind up working out…
