If these walls could talk?

This week we had our annual Area Fellowship at Camp Chetek. While there, I learned that the camp was going to tear down 5 old boy's dorms and build new ones. I took some time to walk through the buildings and noticed a little bit of history. They were built in 1944. If these buildings could talk, what would they have to say? What were the kids like that stayed there? Where were they from? Did they trust the Lord as Savior while at camp? Who were their friends? etc... In one of the cabins the walls were bare with no insulation. Many kids wrote notes on the walls, as kids will do. Today I went back to the camp and took home some of these boards to use to make frames and other projects. As soon as I was done they came with some heavy equipment and tore the building down - 71 years of history and all.
