So I was recently allowed to spend some time at this camp, and thought people would appreciate the rundown.
The camp itself
It is very nice and reasonably priced, probably because the labor is free. The cabins have power. There are 16 beds to a cabin. Bring your own padding.
The missionaries
The entire thing is staffed by senior missionaires (unpaid labor) that ride around on ATVs. Nothing says, “Service to the Lord,” like hooking old men up to bungee cords and swinging them for 6 hours a day (one of the central activities, costs $10 extra per person). The cleaning is handled by the individuals who stay there MTC style, where you get checked on your cleaning before you leave.
The camp is huge and is intended to be used as a refugee camp
The senior missionaries were quite eager to share the details on how many people this camp could hold in an emergency, and that they are adding new areas constantly to hold more. Yes, in case of apocalypse, tens of thousands of members will be comfortable in tightly-pressed cabins hours away from civilization or food sources beyond squirrel.
Ownership
Although the website declares itself, “owned and operated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,” it is actually owned by the Corporation of the Presiding Bishopric (which is in charge of land holdings, so that makes sense).
This pretty much refutes the apologist argument that, “the church doesn’t own the mall, because the church is just one arm of the Corporation.” Here we see a for-profit section of the corporation being declared loudly and proudly as, “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.”
You may now use this as good evidence that other for-profit ventures supported by the church (Such as gay-reformation camps) are actually part of the church in the same way the girls camp is.
