LONE WOLF, OKLA. — Fire consumed Rhodes Hall, the central building on the campus of Quartz Mountain Christian Camp, on Tuesday morning.
“No one was injured in the blaze, and no other structures were affected,” said Craig Dodgen, board president for the camp, which is associated with Churches of Christ. “I have already received questions about clean-up, reconstruction or donations. We need time to assess the damage and to consider our needs both physical and monetary.
“Right now we covet your prayers for Quartz Mountain and for our caretaker, Dale Kastner, and his family.”
Christian Chronicle correspondent Scott Cassady traveled to the camp to survey the damage. He also spoke with Kastner and Dodgen about the fire.
