Bob, who was originally from Philadelphia and had a PhD in American History, envisioned the camp as \"A place where young people achieve personal growth and educational opportunity with the guidance of caring adults.\"  Bob had a long history of attendance at summer camp in Philadelphia as a teen and then worked as a counselor for several years.","When Christine and Bob moved to Lincoln County in 1972 after directing a work camp for the American Friends Service Committee in Mason County, Bob had a teaching job at West Virginia State and Christine built a kiln and pottery business on the farm.  Their commitment was to create a non-profit opportunity for local students to learn more than was offered by the local school system.  At the time, Lincoln County's economy resembled that of much of southern WV which was run by the coal companies and lacked much of a local economy. The concept of non-profits run by local citizens was a new one for those living in Lincoln County. The first of these was the Community Health Clinic and the second was Great Oak Farm.","Bob and Christine initially directed the camp with the assistance of a Board of Directors and Articles of Incorporation in 1979. Later, camp directors were hired. Financial support came from local and national organizations such as the West Virginia Arts and Humanities Council and the Commission on Religion in Appalachia. Religious organizations figured heavily in donations and as a source for volunteers. Volunteers also included work-study students and internships for college students. The camp originally consisted of a recreation/dining hall, craft center, two dormitory shelters, and an outdoor performing stage. Later additions included a pool, hiking trails, a shower house, and updated dormitories. It was built by CETA workers (Comprehensive Employment Training Alliance) headed by resident John Salstrom.","The camp sessions offered educational and recreational activities with a strong emphasis on the arts. The camp's first year of operation was in the summer of 1978 and included seven weekend workshops in arts and crafts. A sample of offerings over the years includes making music and musical instruments, storytelling, weaving and other crafts, pottery, photography and videography, and field trips. In addition to the arts, young people could learn more about the environment, computer skills, swimming, cabin building, and more. Examples of specialized camp sessions include drama, baseball, and poetry writing.  Perhaps a typical example of summer camp offerings and attendance comes from a 1987 summer report. These camp sessions were offered: five 4-day camps with 83 children, two 3-day camps with 19 children, and three arts workshops with 48 children and 3 parents. The cost during this time period was $10 per week and $5 per workshop. During the 1990s, however, there was a statement on applications reading \"If you cannot pay, please call. No one turned away!\" The children attending were aged 8-12 with the majority in the 10-12 age range. Examples of other groups using the camp include the Lincoln County 4-H, the West Virginia Association of Lay Midwives, and programming for people with intellectual disabilities. Volunteers from across the nation often lived in the Weiss home with Robert, Christine, and their children.","Financial issues and concerns were always in the fore at Great Oak Farm. Its administrators sought numerous funding streams, had a wide variety of fundraising events and activities, and were able to grow the camp and move forward with new projects and ideas to enhance the lives of hundreds of youth. Bob Weiss died on June 26, 1991 and Chris continued her work with the camp, serving as ex officio member of the Board of Directors and later as secretary.

Bob, who was originally from Philadelphia and had a PhD in American History, envisioned the camp as \"A place where young people achieve personal growth and educational opportunity with the guidance of caring adults.\"  Bob had a long history of attendance at summer camp in Philadelphia as a teen and then worked as a counselor for several years.","When Christine and Bob moved to Lincoln County in 1972 after directing a work camp for the American Friends Service Committee in Mason County, Bob had a teaching job at West Virginia State and Christine built a kiln and pottery business on the farm.  Their commitment was to create a non-profit opportunity for local students to learn more than was offered by the local school system.  At the time, Lincoln County's economy resembled that of much of southern WV which was run by the coal companies and lacked much of a local economy. The concept of non-profits run by local citizens was a new one for those living in Lincoln County. The first of these was the Community Health Clinic and the second was Great Oak Farm.","Bob and Christine initially directed the camp with the assistance of a Board of Directors and Articles of Incorporation in 1979. Later, camp directors were hired. Financial support came from local and national organizations such as the West Virginia Arts and Humanities Council and the Commission on Religion in Appalachia. Religious organizations figured heavily in donations and as a source for volunteers. Volunteers also included work-study students and internships for college students. The camp originally consisted of a recreation/dining hall, craft center, two dormitory shelters, and an outdoor performing stage. Later additions included a pool, hiking trails, a shower house, and updated dormitories. It was built by CETA workers (Comprehensive Employment Training Alliance) headed by resident John Salstrom.","The camp sessions offered educational and recreational activities with a strong emphasis on the arts. The camp's first year of operation was in the summer of 1978 and included seven weekend workshops in arts and crafts. A sample of offerings over the years includes making music and musical instruments, storytelling, weaving and other crafts, pottery, photography and videography, and field trips. In addition to the arts, young people could learn more about the environment, computer skills, swimming, cabin building, and more. Examples of specialized camp sessions include drama, baseball, and poetry writing.  Perhaps a typical example of summer camp offerings and attendance comes from a 1987 summer report. These camp sessions were offered: five 4-day camps with 83 children, two 3-day camps with 19 children, and three arts workshops with 48 children and 3 parents. The cost during this time period was $10 per week and $5 per workshop. During the 1990s, however, there was a statement on applications reading \"If you cannot pay, please call. No one turned away!\" The children attending were aged 8-12 with the majority in the 10-12 age range. Examples of other groups using the camp include the Lincoln County 4-H, the West Virginia Association of Lay Midwives, and programming for people with intellectual disabilities. Volunteers from across the nation often lived in the Weiss home with Robert, Christine, and their children.","Financial issues and concerns were always in the fore at Great Oak Farm. Its administrators sought numerous funding streams, had a wide variety of fundraising events and activities, and were able to grow the camp and move forward with new projects and ideas to enhance the lives of hundreds of youth. Bob Weiss died on June 26, 1991 and Chris continued her work with the camp, serving as ex officio member of the Board of Directors and later as secretary. The last minutes from the Board of Directors are from 1996.","Records of Great Oak Farm, a camp for disadvantaged youth (1977-ca. 1996), in Lincoln County, West Virginia.

By 1971, the group was brought under the sponsorship of the Bennett House, WVU's ecumenical campus ministry center located in the Walters House at 221 Wiley Street, and shortened its name to the \"Women's Information Center.\" Under the advisory of United Methodist campus minister Reba Thurmond, and with a loose affiliation with the University Christian Council (UCC), who loaned them space in the Walters House, the WIC focused on pregnancy counseling, pregnancy testing, sex education, and the implementation of programs related to women's concerns and women's movements.","One of the earliest projects of the group was the creation of the Rape Information Service (now the Rape and Domestic Violence Information Center) in collaboration with other women's groups in the area. In 1976, tensions arose between the UCC and the Trinity Episcopal Church of Morgantown, which owned the Walters House, leading to a non-renewal of the lease to the UCC in 1980. The Bennett House, including the WIC, relocated to the P.E.E.C.H. Building at 305 Willey Street. In 1977, the WIC was officially incorporated as a non-profit. The UCC, Bennett, House, and WIC relocated once again, this time to the Rogers House at 193 Willey Street in 1984.
