| has gloss | eng: Jacksons Point is a Salvation Army conference centre and camp next to Lake Simcoe in Ontario, Canada. The campgrounds were first purchased by The Salvation Army in 1917, but the Army ran summer camps on the grounds for nearly a decade prior. Hugh Garner, a Canadian novelist, recalled having responded to a call to the mercy seat when attending a summer camp at Jacksons Point as a child, even though he became openly anti-Christian and strongly opposed to the idea of a personal god later in life. In recent years, The Salvation Army has split the summer camps by age group, placing the 7-10-year-olds in summer camps at Jackson's Point and placing the older children at Camp Newport. |
