60th ANNIVERSARY OF C.A.M.P. SPARKS MANY HAPPY MEMORIES
In May of 2015 a group of friends and C.A.M.P. veterans celebrated the 60th anniversary of C.A.M.P., which stands for Constructing Assured & Motivated People. The participants came from as far away as California, and there was even one camper from the original camp that took place in 1956.
“Folks could come and stay all weekend with their families, if they liked, or just for the day on Saturday or even just for the banquet on Saturday night,” reported Janny Brizius. “It was much fun!”
The photos here were taken during the weekend, which brought back many happy memories to campers and staff.

FAMILY & FRIENDS HELP JANNY BRIZIUS
CELEBRATE HER 80th BIRTHDAY!
When Janny Brizius celebrated his 80th birthday on March 21, 2015 at the Gahanna Community Congregational Church it brought a sense of deja vu, as her husband David “Boonie” Brizius had celebrated that milestone about a year earlier at the same venue with any of the same family and 100 friends in attendance. As was the case in 2014 at Boonie’s bash, many others sent cards, texts and called with well wishes. You see, Janny and Boonie have been a real team for many years, and have touched countless lives through their motivational activities, theatrical presentations, magic shows, Halloween events and Christmas shopping projects.
It appeared that well over a hundred people were on hand for a vespers service and a spaghetti dinner at the church. Some were current or former campers or staff from C.A.M.P., which stands for Constructing Assured & Motivated People, an interdenominational Christian camp that Boonie and Janny have been putting on since 1956! Others in attendance have been involved in Magic Waters Theatre, the Haunted Hills, Christmas at the Cabin, or one of the myriad other projects that have engaged the Brizius family down through the years.
During the party, memories were shared and stories were told about Janny and Boonie, who have devoted much of their lives to helping others. Displays were posted showing most of the C.A.M.P. groups down through the years, and the fruits of all that fellowship and friendship were evident throughout the evening.
Janny and Boonie wish to express their thanks to everyone for sharing in the occasion, one that will be long remembered in the Brizius family.
The 2015 dates for C.A.M.P. were August 2-8 at the Resident Camping Facility at Tar Hollow State Park, which features a beautiful 15-acre lake. C.A.M.P. is for young people in grades 6 through 12 (including the current year’s graduating seniors) and features swimming, boating, rappelling, crafts, creative writing, photography, journalism, archery, band, choir, dance, canoeing, fishing, and much more.
Boonie and Janny founded C.A.M.P. in 1956, and while it has taken place at several different locations over its rich history, the majority of those camp have been at Tar Hollow. Often young people attend from as many as 25 different congregations, although no church affiliation is required. C.A.M.P. is served by an all-volunteer staff, many of whom return year after year.

20TH CENTURY CLUB
AT THE CABIN!
Note: the following report and the photo above appeared on Ron Coffey’s website, www.coffeyweb.com, after Ron and his wife visited The Cabin in December 2013:
Boonie and Janny Brizius hosted a recent meeting of the 20th Century Club, allowing members to see the lovely cabin along Cave Road filled with crafts and unique gift items. I snapped this photo using the panorama feature on my iPhone, which slightly distorts but allows the creation of some interesting shots. If you are still seeking that special something for a special someone on your Christmas list, I regret to inform you that Christmas at the Cabin has closed for the season. However, if you know Boonie or Janny, perhaps you could talk them into a personal tour. Janny could tell you some very interesting stories about the cabin that has been in the family for years.
I’ll also give a shout-out to the 20th Century Club, a nice group of people from the Greenfield area who get together occasionally for a lovely dinner, some relaxed social time and a program. I only became a member in the 21st century, but now wish I had joined earlier!
