Comments From Teenagers
What a rewarding experience! Thank you very much Mr. Armstrong
for everything you did to make S.E.P. such a tremendous pioneer­
ing experience. Throughout the camp it was emphasized what an
opportunity we had to pioneers. It was obvious that God very
much blessed the camp, and the many who were able to attend.
I admired and thoroughly appreciated all the ministers, their
wives and the large staff who had such an overwhelming job. They
set a terrific example of service! All the leaders continually
demonstrated "giving" in the true sense of the word. They helped
to establish a sincere, warm atmosphere of friendship and
achievement between all the campers.

I'd like to give my deepest thanks to you, Mr. Armstrong, for
making possible the S.E.P. camp at Lake Moogerah, Australia.
With all the states being represented and Australia being such a
large country, it took some campers many days travel to get
there, but the camp made it all worthwhile.
It was tremendous to have so many young people from God

in one place. The food was scrumptious and the activities were
challenging and very rewarding. For the "pioneer year" it was
heaps of fun and excitement. Many new friendships have been made
and old ones strengthened.
We received valuable and useful information and instruction from
Bible studies and services that we can apply to our lives now
that we are back home again. It was a lifetime experience with
many fond memories to look back upon.

Thank you very much for allowing Australia to
have
its own S.E.P.
It has been a fantastic, profitable and very rewarding camp.
When I first heard about having an S.E.P. camp, I was thrilled to
bits. It was not only an opportunity to receive some of God's
knowledge at our level of understanding, but also a chance to
learn new skills and take part in new activities.
Thank you also for sending the Ambassador College students. We
had a lot of fun doing activities with them.

This letter is a short "thank you" for the wonderful S.E.P. you
organized for us at Lake Moogerah. We fully appreciate all the
hard work you and many others put into making it possible for us
to have such a fantastic time.
Not only did we enjoy all the activities, but we also greatly en­
joyed meeting so many people, making many friends and having the
