The Emerald RVs have been camping throughout western Oregon now since 1988. Members come from Springfield, Eugene, Cottage Grove, Junction City, Veneta and Sweet Home churches. Former members still get our monthly newsletter, as far away as Georgia.
We meet at Pleasant Hill Church the first Sunday of the month for our evening potluck supper and business meeting and go camping nearly every third weekend of the month. Our weekend camp outs include a Friday evening soup supper and Sabbath School and church, followed by a potluck lunch. Sunday morning we have a pancake breakfast and play games.
All of us are over 60, and we enjoy the spiritual fellowship and the friendships we have made.
Walter Koehn, retired teacher from Auburn Academy, teaches Sabbath School at Swartz Park, east of Cottage Grove, during our August campout.
Many of us love to play the washer game.
