I am so glad that there is a web site for Camp Ben. I have been camping there all my life. My Grandmother Emma Mae Watson(Wilson) use to tell us how she camped with her parents. I think they even camped at the first one.Then her and my grandfather use to camp every year with the wagons and all.I remember the dance was so crowded.I remember the cold spring down the stairs and people would put their watermelons there to keep them cold.Driving our car over the bridge which is now private property. Camping out with cots and tents. Now we all have RVs and travel trailers.I still camp every year.

Drove up to Camp Ben last weekend and was amazed at how beautiful the creek looked & lots of water! My boys wanted to jump in right then & there!! Looking forward to another great year with friends & family!

I live in Wisconsin so just coming down there it is beautifull. I camp at the Haberer sight every year and I can't wait untill I can see how the river is doing. We use to go tubing on it like every day but then it dryer up�

My Great Great Grandfather was mention in this book, â??Eighty Years Under the Stars and Bars,â?� Thomas Fletcher Harwell, deceased of Kyle, Texas, who was the adjutant of the camp for more than twenty- five years, says: â??The organization of Camp Ben McCulloch took place in the summer of 1896, by a group of Confederate soldiers and their families and friends, who lived in the â??Hill Countryâ?? of Hays County.â?� H e was James Foster Massey. I have several old photos of the 1955 reunion.

i was also raised at Camp Ben! i went there yesterday with my dog for a walk down memory lane. it's still beautiful!

Let's all pray that we get some good rain before the 2010 reunion!!! I'll be going anyway - water in the creek or not! But I'd prefer water!!

Thank you to all the directors for all their hard work and dedication for putting on a great reunion.We will miss Harold and Eva with their leadership and dedication but we know the New Directors will carry on all the traditions and help move on in the right direction.

See you next year on June 18th!! 2010 Reunion 6/18-6/25

HEY, anyone know the dates for the 2010 Reunion?

I can't wait for Camp Ben to start tomorrow!
