I came across this fun quiz and it brought back memories.. I got 9/10 right.

I was a big camp girl through my church when I was growing up. I went to Pioneer Girls Camp, Winter Camp, Summer Camp, Hume Lake over and over, Forest Home, and others that I can't even remember the name of. My Mom would sometimes make me go to "work day" that our church offered to earn some of the money to go. I've pulled my share of weeds and painted fences, etc. My friends would always go and we would always all get together in the same cabin and we had so much fun.
Besides the great memories of the long bus trips where we would take over the whole back seat of the big blue church bus, sitting on top of a whole row of sleeping bags the whole way looking out the back window (so dangerous and I would never want my kids to do that, but it was so fun for us and our seat each camping outing!), eating a box of cereal on the way, memories of the bus breaking down leaving us stranded on the side of the road waiting for help, our fun counselors, the drama that always happened with someone getting mad at someone for spending too much time with someone else, or the drama with boys and the tears that followed being mad at each other with our counselor in the middle trying to fix it, the campfire the Friday before you leave where everyone would just sit and cry because you are so touched, or just funny things we did, my favorite part was always the music. I LOVE camp songs. I LOVE church music.

I LOVE camp songs. I LOVE church music.
I like the worship music that we have now in church but it's different than the music I grew up with. I love the old Baptist hymnals we had at church. I love the classic hymns. I think I can say I "collect" hymn Cd's because I have so many and I can't get enough of them. When I'm in a Christian Bookstore I go right for that kind of music to see what I don't have. I also love the song books to go with them. Just As I am, Rock Of Ages, Amazing Grace, How Great Thou Art, Softly and Tenderly, What a Friend We Have In Jesus, I love them. As a child sitting in the "big church" I can't remember many sermons but I can remember many many songs we sang. I can remember standing in the middle of my Mom and my Grandma and I can still hear them singing "The Old Rugged Cross" next to me. It's comforting music to me.
We also sang great songs in my youth department that some of my friends and I have been trying to remember the names of lately. I went to the same church from 6-weeks-old through having my first child and still have some of the same friends from then so I have great memories from that church.

Me too - 9/10 . I don't think I've ever heard of #9 before. That was fun. Your memories of camp seem to be exactly like mine. There is something so fun about going to camp, and I'm sure our parents didn't mind the week off.
Lori, I posted both of your comments before I realized what I did so I deleted the second one. I'm out of it today! LOL. I know it throws people off but I got spam more than once on here where someone left a random post with a strange link to a site and I wasn't comfortable with that so I chose this option of approving comments instead of having the letters to type in before posting Thanks for the post though :)
I remember the big church. That's where I became a christian. Remember Randy Sikes(I don't think that's how to spell his name). He was the youth minister. It was in his office. I was 20, so you were 12 years old.
