It’s another Throwback Thursday Camp addition!

The scene pictured may look like something straight out of an early Disney film such as The Parent Trap, but it is in fact South Camp in the 1980’s. When Concordia Language Village took over the South Camp facilities in 1982, it was a Spanish village for approximately 20 years. Less known is that Oak Hills Camp had been financially struggling for the last few years of the late 70’s and Concordia’s renting could not have been more well timed. The language camp during its rental years added indoor plumbing and showers, improved the kitchen facilities and multiplied the number of cabins. It was a nice addition to what Gordon Hansen had been building before the turnover and when Oak Hills revived its camp ministry it annexed all those additions. The reopening of Oak Hills Camp returned Oak Hills to its roots in camp ministry. If you’re life has been blessed by Oak Hills Camp give us a shout out! We love to hear your stories!

It has been awhile since we’ve spotlighted an alumnus of Oak Hills. If you have not had the opportunity, it brings me great pleasure to introduce you to alumnus Justin Domogalla. Justin is a 2002 graduate of Oak Hills, serving at Eastside Christian Church in Park Rapids alongside his wife Renee. They have four darling children. They’re favorite couples movie is a tie between You’ve Got Mail and Pride & Prejudice.
After graduating, Justin served at White Oak Bible Chapel (03’-05’), Redby Community Church (05’-08’), and Staples Church of Christ (08’-15’) before becoming the Campus Pastor of Eastside Christian Church in Park Rapids (15’-present). The Domogalla’s ministry at Eastside began directly alongside the church digging new roots. After an advisory vote resulting from their pastor’s retiring, what was Lakeside Community Church in Park Rapids, was set to become a satellite location of Eastside Christian Church in Anaheim, CA. For the congregation adjustments were ahead in becoming a satellite, but what Justin began finding in these rising challenges was a congregation willing to sacrifice preferences if it meant reaching Park Rapids and the surrounding area. Since Eastside opened their doors in 2015 a congregation of 30 to 35 has grown to bolster 170 volunteers, having a wider audience of sometimes over 500 in attendance. This growth has allowed Eastside as a church to maximally impact its communities in benevolence, evangelizing and creating intentional community. Thanks Justin and Renee for your ministry!

For the month of February, all of the Throwback Thursday’s will be back to a time in Camp Oak Hill’s history.

After around 27 years of closure, the historic Camp Oak Hills was brought back to life in 2006. Up to this date, both Concordia Language Village (82’ - 03’) and Splash Camps (04’ - 08’) had used Oak Hills’s facilities, and “Splash was a significant move toward restoring the camp to Christian ministry,” as Kenneth Wold writes. Oak Hills’s origins began in camp ministry in 1926. It historically operated as Oak Hills’s springboard for its evangelistic and church planting missions in the area. In 1946 Oak Hills Bible Institute opened its doors, and for the next 36 years the school and camp ran side by side until 1982. The Board of Directors decision in 2006 to recontinue Oak Hills’s Camp legacy under the care of Scott Buchan, returned the direction of Oak Hills Fellowship to the vision of five men gathering under an oak tree in 1925 asking God to provide this land for a Christian camp and training facility.

The year of reopening in 2009 witnessed 187 youths in attendance and by the end of the camp season in 2015, about 1200 campers had attended. Pictured is Amy Guntzel leading a game in those first few years after camp reopened.
