Duggars at Alert Family Camp

The Duggar family spent last week at one of their favorite places, family camp with their homeschool organization in Big Sandy, Texas. Alert Family Camp offers dynamic speakers and activities for all ages. Have you ever been to a family camp?

  1. Why is a Medic Corps T-shirt being worn at an ALERT camp?

    1. Because they don't have a dress code that says they can't?

    7. They are pictured in their RV, you don't know if they are at the camp yet, or just left. Stop assuming you know/see everything.

    8. Since ALERT has it's own disaster response teams, I thought it was strange to advertise another group that does the same thing.

    9. I wonder where ALERT cadet teams help disaster areas in the USA. Just the south?

  2. Were the Duggars speakers at the Family Camp?

  7. I have been to the Big Sandy site many times as a teenager back in the 1960's when the property was still owned by the Worldwide Church of God. They operated Ambassador College there. My parents were members of the church at that time and it was were they held yearly fall conventions. I recall camping in the Piney Woods on the campus and it was hotter than blazes. Two of my older siblings graduated from Ambassador. I believe Alert still uses many of the original buildings. The church itself eventually dissolved amidst quite a bit of scandal and the property was sold to the Hobby Lobby organization, I believe in the early 1990's. It was then turned over to Bill Gothard and ATI. Haven't been back since and have no desire to be affiliated with any organized religion.

    1. And why did you share this?

      Delete
    2. Because Ellie asked, have you ever been to a family camp. I thought the comment was interesting. Thank you commenter for sharing a part of your life. :-)

    3. I found 5:00’s explanation to be interesting. It’s helpful to understand the history of a place, as it gives better clarification of people’s belief system.

      Delete
    4. She/He answers Ellie's question, in the introduction. Maybe you should too! I haven't been to any family camp, personally. Try it, it's so easy to kindly answer a polite question!

    5. Because the blog author asked if any of the readers have been to a family camp-did you read the post?
      I always appreciate different perspectives of the glossed over highlights of what the Duggar family perceives as their television “ministry”, which I assume filters to this fan blog.

  8. Of course given the show teases lately, every time we see a female near Michelle, we have to think courtship material.

    1. We don't have to think that, actually. It's rarely correct.

    No never been to a family camp

  10. Michelle needs to cut her hair, not liking the look on her. Who is sitting next to Michelle? Maybe another courtship in the works. Josh and Anna's kids seems to always be with Jim Bob and Michelle lately, are things okay between Josh and Anna, hope she is not having pregnancies related issues. Johanna is so grown up, looks a lot like Joy and Jessa.

    1. Um, she has had the same look of long hair the whole time they have been on television. And she doesn't need to cut her hair unless she wants to. And if they wanted us to know the identity of the person next to Michelle, they would have told us.

  11. I have participated in family culture camps with my kids, but nothing religious based. We enjoyed meeting people from different countries and learning about their languages, customs, and cuisine. It has always been a wonderful education!

    1. 6:45 - that sounds like a wonderful experience for your family. In a world where we experience people of many and varied cultures, whether or not we travel far, it’s gives us an understanding and respect for all God’s people.

  12. Where do Josh and Anna live now?

  13. Anna Duggar is 8 months pregnant, and she is traveling so much. Wow.

    1. It's great that she feels well enough to travel.

      Delete
    2. She's done this kind of travel with other pregnancies. She has home births and isn't traveling by air. She will be just fine.

  16. Jed and Her are such handsome young men. I would have had such a crush on Jeremiah when I was his age.

    1. A braid is a pigtail, not a ponytail.
