My target audience is the community of Camp Bethel in Haddam, CT. This community is made up of at least five generations (young and old) of Christians who are all family and friends to each other. They come from all walks of life but have this religion and faith in common. Camp Bethel is a place where during the summer months they can go and celebrate their faith through church services, bible studies and other activities.
I would like to do this paper in a descriptive, braided personal narrative. I want to incorporate at least three different braids: 1) my growth there as a teenager 2) entries from the daily logs of my parents (and maybe my mother’s diary if she will let me); they were the caretakers and 3) a religious aspect somehow. I may do the first and second braid in ways of stories or a timeline. I’m really not sure yet.
The piece titled “What Camp Bethel has Meant to Me” by Al Everette will be my next blog post. This is a good example if what I would like to do, only on a grander scale.
My piece will definitely be very unique to the publication because it is so long, descriptive and braided. Like I sent you in the other email the mission statement of the publication is “a publication of the Camp Bethel Association intended to promote our mission of sharing with our members and interested individuals the eternal goodness and mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ. Articles, photos, news and notes consistent with the above are welcomed and encouraged."
