DNA Camp - 2010

A Day at Peyton Hall

Swimming, Diving,
Eating nourishment, all for the spirit,
Swinging on a hammock, dreaming of Saints,
Sharing a hearty word, knowing the Lord,

People from all around the world,
Truly international,
A United Nations to be sure,
Enjoying a brew, a couple, a few,
Tennis or a film there was much to do,
A grand venue, a sound menu,
Thanks to Jeremy and family,
Weather fine for us to be free.
