A
SLIDESHOW
THROUGH
TIME

In the beginning….
July 1 st 1947
Trustees of the Steubenville District of the
North-East Ohio Conference of the Methodist
Church, signed the first lease for the original
17 acres of Camp Aldersgate.
The lease was signed by:
Charles Fellows, Trustee President
S.M. Floyd, Secretary / Treasure
M.L. Pugh
Clayton Tope
Norman Detwiler
Dr. Paul Carter, District Superintendent

The next slide is:
Camp Aldersgate in September 1947
Currently, the first known pictures of
Aldersgate. The people in the picture are
standing about where our current cabin 5 is
located. They are looking out over what is
now our waterfront.

These next several slides show some of the
building on camp. One picture is from our
past and the other picture shows the
building as it looked in 2006.

We will now show some other slides from our past.
After each slide, you will find a copy of the slide
with boxes and labels to show were things are today;
hopefully you will be able to see how things have
changed.
