It is awesome to read stories about the Reunion and re-enactments. The stoies about seeing Family and Friends makes the year of waiting worth it. Here is wishing each of You, Your Family Friends and Loved Ones the very BEST for 2010 and Blessing for 2011. I didn't know these sites even existed. Thanks! :)

I am a descendant of First Lieutenant Jacob Quick and was born going to the "Reunion" it seems. I will be 57 in July and now my grandchildren are looking forward every year to the same great times I had. At my Grandmothers (Vida Quick Rippy) last time to go to the reunion before she passed away, about 3 or 4 years ago, we had 5 generations at the reunion and we were all females. I hope it will stay in our lives forever. There are some great memories. Can't wait to get there!!!!

I REMEMBER ONE YEAR...... I remember walking up to our campsite with Alfred Holman one night. When we got there but we stayed kinda in the background where some people could see us, and some couldn't, but pretty soon everybody busted out laughing because the ONE PERSON that DID NOT see us was MIKE CASSIDY STANDING ON ONE OF THE PICNIC TABLES DOING A "STRIP TEASE" DRUNKERN KOOTER BROWN!!!!! AND ALFRED JUST REACHED OVER AND HANDED HIM A $1.00 BILL AND TOLD HIM THE SHOW WAS NOW OVER..... LOL LOL LOL.... THAT ALSO WAS THE SAME NIGHT THAT SOMEONE POURED HOT SAUCE ON "SOMEONES" CROTCH AND FOLDED THEM UP INSIDE ONE OF THE FOLDING CHAIRS....LOL LOL THERE'S A MILLION OF 'EM!!!!!!!

I remember my mother teaching me to dance a Camp Ben. It was in the late 50's and the band was Bob Wills and my mom swore that Mel Tellis was singing with the band and the time. I don't know; just know we always had fun and camp. I still camp each reunion; look forward to it all year. Let's me be with family and friends and relive my childhood.

I was able to visit during the 2nd week in March. The camp was wonderful and I took many photos. I got to sit at the tables that my family were at when they held a family reunion there in 1955. i hope to attend the events in 2011.

I have been to the reunion several times " Camp Weed!". I have never met a nicer group of people and the reinactments are fantastic. Looking forward to this year and thank everyone for all their hard work.

can't wait for camp ben 2010... hoping the ceerk is full so we all can enjoy a nice river float....see yall at camp 6/18/10

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�
