Camp Ovoca Impresses Local Youths With Activities
Local Presbyterians from Alabama and Tennessee attended Camp Queca near Tulahoma, Tennessee. The younger group aged 12 to 14 enjoyed boating, swimming, crafts, Bible study and vesper services, while older youths 15 to 23 joined workshops on reading the Bible, vocation choices, missions, and Christian home teachings led by Mrs. Eugene Chenault. Evening candlelight services overlooking the lake, a cross, and a quiet procession capped the week. One Decatur teen pledged to return next year, marking the camp a success.
