🦝 The Raccoon Incident at Mt. Gilead 😂

Every camp has legendary stories... and this is one of them. 😆

Brenda (Jungkeit) Connell, daughter of Mt. Gilead's founder, shares a hilarious camp memory from her time as a camper. One night, she decided it would be funny to make raccoon noises outside the cabins... but the joke didn't go over quite as planned. 😂
The result? Campers couldn't sleep, she got caught, and her punishment was sharpening pencils! ✏️

It's memories like these that make Mt. Gilead such a special place. For generations, campers have made friendships, laughed together, grown in their faith, and created stories they'll never forget.
