16th South Carolina Volunteers
Sam Davis Youth Camp
in 1864, Major General Patrick Cleburne prophetically warned:
"If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy,
that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of
history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision."
Today his words ring true. There is no question that the youth of today must run a terrible gauntlet,
and that many are struck down along the way by one or more of the politically correct influences which flourish in our schools.
This summer you can help turn the tide. For one week, our Southern young men and ladies will gather to hear the truths about
the War for Southern Independence. This camp, named for the great Confederate Sam Davis, will combine fun and recreation with
thoughtful instruction in Southern history, the War for Southern Independence, the theology of the South during the War,
lessons on Southern heroes, examples of great men of Faith, and for the second year, special programs and sessions for our Southern ladies.
