Camp Allen Being Evacuated

Camp Allen was notified early Thursday morning of a voluntary evacuation due to the Waller County fires that flared up overnight. The camp management has decided to close the camp until Monday morning because of the emergency vehicles and road closures nearby. Camp Allen does not appear to be in jeopardy unless the winds should shift from the northeast direction.

 

The Camp Allen staff appreciates the emails and prayers of support.  Many of the staffers who live in the surrounding areas have been evacuated and the fate of their homes is not known. The fire fighters and local volunteers continue to work non-stop on these fires which began on Monday.

 

“If you woke up at our lake this morning, you would witness a beautiful morning," said Camp Allen President George Dehan. "but just a few miles away there is a huge plume of smoke rising in the sunrise.”
