2021 Labor Day Family Camp JUST wrapped up, and it was a blast. In this very special recap episode you get not one, but TWO interviews with chapel speakers. Taylor was able to catch up with Keith Carlson, the adult chapel speaker, and Carter Norine, who spoke at the children's chapels, and asked about their experience speaking at camp, history with camp, and what they liked most about speaking this weekend. (Sorry for the drop in audio quality of the interviews since it had to be recorded on Taylor's phone.)

We're back! Well, almost. Season 2 of the Hidden Acres Podcast kicks off next week with a summer camp recap. Thanks for joining us!

In this bonus interview, Eric and Taylor sit down with Mike Shields, superintendent of EFCA Central, which is the association of Evangelical Free churches that owns Hidden Acres (so technically he’s Steve’s boss). Mike was the chapel speaker at our Memorial Day Family Camp, and was kind enough to sit down for an interview to talk about EFCA Central, camp, and peanut butter jelly toast. Enjoy!

Summer camp season is finally here! The day this episode is released is the day the first summer staff arrive at camp, and we couldn’t be more excited. To commemorate this special day, we’ve got an entire episode dedicated to summer camp. Hear about dates, speakers, activities, why we do summer camp, and why Eric and Taylor love camp so much.

Plus, we decided to give the podcast a break for summer, so we’re calling this our season 1 finale. We’ll still release a few episodes during the summer, but we’re taking a break from our regular schedule until the fall. Thanks so much for listening and staying connected to Hidden Acres.
