Former Louisiana Catholic Couple And Their Boys and Girls Camps In North Caroliana

Father at Standing On My Head has a post that might be of interest to Louisiana Catholic readers and others.

David and Anne Trufant had a dream of running a camp. David had a photography business in their native New Orleans. Anne had a music ministry to the Catholic community. On a trip to North Carolina David heard about two camps that were for sale. They didn't have the money, but a local banker heard Anne sing, caught the vision and loaned them the money to buy the camps.
Now they run Camp Kahdalea for girls and Chosatonga for boys. On either side of the same mountain the rustic camps near Brevard, North Carolina are the most fantastic place to send your kids or grand kids. The camps aren't Catholic camps, but camps run by Catholics. In other words, the religion is not 'inyerface' but the staff are terrific young people--most of them committed Catholic university students. There is Mass on Sundays and grace before meals. There are times for 'wisdom and learning' but most of all the camps are places of great fun, enthusiasm, love and pure joy...................
