Texas Church Camp

Have you ever been to a summer camp? Christian, Sports, Relationship Strengthening, Handicapped, Military, Grandparents Camp, another Themed Camp, etc. Summer camps are an opportunity to meet people from all walks of life. There is also the opportunity to be introduced to a variety of insects and critters, which can spice up any interactions.

One summer Scott Big Bear is an important counselor for TCC (Texas Church Camp), and his assignment is to be sure all trails up the hills and beside the river are safe for hiking.

He is the first indigenous Native American counselor for TCC. His regular job, ever since he was able to independently leave his village, was to help ranchers in Texas and nearby states keep predators and other menacing animals away from their herds of cattle. He is wise beyond his age, a very large, muscular, handsome man.

Jesse, the year-round camp leader, is grateful for Big Bear's outdoor expertise, even though he has to diffuse one unorthodox event after another. The surprising events are usually initiated by neighboring camps. A murder, a love interest, a plane crash, and a tornado also add to Jesse's challenges.

Jump into Texas Church Camp, if you dare, and experience vicariously and intensely a unique summer camping experience.

Ever onward, Beverly Blackman

Trapped in an underground cavern with no clear way of escape, they find themselves in a place hidden by the devil himself – a realm designed for one purpose alone: to generate evil and spread death to any who dare uncover its horrific secrets.
