I definitely appreciated that part, too- they’re certainly not trashing the area as some might expect, and of course who knows what may happen, but the security they’ve got set up is great. I’m glad they’re taking that step with the sex offenders too- not just because it’s good for locals to know where the sex offenders are located, but also because many sex offenders *want* to stay as compliant with the police as possible, to avoid the repercussions that occur if they don’t keep their addresses updated, which I can certainly see being difficult if they don’t have an actual place of residence.

It’s truly amazing how you managed to capture everything from our visit in this post. Official or not, these folks have really done a remarkable job of maintaining security and staying within the bounds of legality in many regards (having sex offenders "register" with the camp and having that info updated with the county for one example). I hope things work out for them.

As a personal note, having once attended a church who tried to get a permit from the city simply to be a church in a space that was owned by their own denomination… getting a permit from the city is no easy task. Hope UCC has done their homework on the permitting process…
