On Sunday, Sept. 22, at 2 p.m., Camp Manidokan in Knoxville will celebrate its 75th year as a United Methodist Camping and Retreat Center.

From 2 to 4 p.m. on Sept. 22, the celebration includes:

• Snacks and the best of Manidokan's food in the dining hall,
• Walking tour of Manidokan’s history, along with recent and upcoming facility improvements,
• Self-guided hikes throughout the property,
• Opportunities to purchase hats, sweatshirts, stickers, mugs and more at the camp store, and
•  The climbing wall and aerial park will be open.

At 4 p.m., there will be worship at Campfire Hill, where there will be memories of the past and reflections on the future, followed by s'mores and a group photo.

 The anniversary celebration will also include a look forward to IGNITE, a Baltimore-Washington and Peninsula-Delaware Area Youth Conference, which will be held March 7-9 in Ocean City. The IGNITE bonfire will provide a preview of the church's future and this exciting new youth event.
