"Getting ready for a dip", campers at Lake Koronis do calisthenics before swimming. Lake Koronis provided programming for cabin camp for boys and girls on the Assembly Grounds. The 75th Anniversary booklets states, "in 1928 the first camp for boys was held and because of its great success a girl's camp was held the following year. By 1931 the camp was mixed but divided into ages 10-14 and 15-16 with courses in Bible, nature study, how to keep fit and youth in the church."

Camp meeting at Nicollet, Minnesota, probably near the Brighton Church. A tent is in the background, maybe a cook tent. One can see dishes, even glassware with stems, on the front table. A coffeepot holds the place of honor at the head, and another pot rests on the ground at the foot of a women seated at the rear table. Also, a board walk leads into the tent, although, here, one of the tables is placed over it. Trees surround the scene, as in the first picture.

Camp meeting at the Mike Johnson field. The picture shows wooded surroundings. In the background is a platform, open on three sides, walled in back and roofed, with a bell attached. Over 100 persons, many of them children, are seated on wooden benches on and in front of the platform. The men are dressed in suits, the women in light colored summer dresses with long sleeves and high necks and are hatted. Some of the boys in front hold hats in their laps. They are here to hear the visiting preacher and they may "camp" there for several days.

Charles Thompson and friends are holding a fishing net in front of a gazebo at the summer camp at Lake Darling. Many deaf people camped at Lake Darling during this time, and thus it was called a "deaf colony." From left to right are Elwyn Smith (who was the CODA (child of deaf adults) son of Dr. James L. Smith), Charles Thompson, and Big (or Old) George, who worked at Mr. Thompson's home in Georgia. Standing in back is Margaret Brooks Thompson.
