Falls Creek Baptist Conference Center : ウィキペディア英語版 | Falls Creek Baptist Conference Center Falls Creek Baptist Conference Center, also known simply as Falls Creek, is a conference center and youth camp along Falls Creek in the ancient Arbuckle Mountains of Oklahoma. It is the state's oldest church camp and is also the largest youth encampment in the United States. While the center primarily serves members of the Baptist faith, attendees from other denominations use the facility as well. The current director of the encampment is James Swain. Falls Creek is owned and operated by the Baptist General Convention Of Oklahoma (BGCO). ==History== Falls Creek was established in the summer of 1917, when J.B. Rounds and W. D. Moorer used the donated land to host the meeting of the Baptist Young People's Union, with a total of 273 campers. Since then, Falls Creek has grown astronomically, now averaging 55,000 attendees per summer. In the 1920s, a large outdoor tabernacle was built and remained in use for many years. In 2004, this tabernacle was torn down and construction began on a new one, with services during the 2005 and 2006 sessions being held at an amphitheater. Benches from the old tabernacle, which had been signed by generations of campers, were sold away as collector's items. In 2007, the new tabernacle was opened at the 90th Falls Creek session and was the first facility indoors and with rest rooms. Former Rep. and now US Senator James Lankford (R-OK) was Program Director for Falls Creek between 1996 and 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biography )〕
