Well Shelia, that is a very interesting story, but not true.

Faced with declining enrollment, the owners of the camp, the Morrison family, decided to sell the facilities. There were several groups interested in purchasing the camp, including some who wanted to maintail the camp's operations. In the end, the best return for the family was to sell to developers who sub-divided the property and built vacation homes and a golf course.

Having helped Jordan with the "new" Horseshoe, I can tell you it is a beautiful place, but not as large physically as the grounds of the old camp.

I hope your son had a great time. I visited camp in the 3rd week and thought everything was going absolutely super. I was really impressed with the spirit that had developed in a very short time.
