Give $61 to honor every year that Dick O’Ferrall, affectionately known as “Mr. O,” has mentored through faith and the outdoors at Alpine Camp for Boys.
Food is a big deal at Alpine, a cornerstone of camp, when everyone joins for three meals a day, seated together in the dining hall. Each meal is blessed with songs sung by all in camp tradition. With three blessings a day over three camp terms, that totals 120 meals blessed in the dining hall every summer.
Alpine Camp for Boys enjoys 350 acres of Alabama’s great outdoors, featuring deep forests, massive rocks and rushing waterfalls.
Summer days at Alpine start at 7 a.m. with reveille, followed by morning watch and breakfast in the dining hall to prepare for a full day of activities and breaking bread together.
More than 1,000 boys and young men, including campers, counselors and staff spend the summer at Alpine, building foundations that will last a lifetime.
Cool summer days and nights at Alpine Camp for Boys is a gift celebrated by all, thanks to Mentone, Alabama’s elevation at 1,736 feet above sea level.
Mr. O’s presence and leadership at Alpine Camp for Boys and beyond has been priceless for more than 60 years. Help us honor such service and dedication to faith, the outdoors and mentoring many thousands of young people.
