Mrs. Eloise Hart Temple founded Camp Skyline in 1947 and owned it for 33 years.  She is the originator of many Skyline traditions and clubs -- the Mounties, Rangers, and Troopers, for instance.  Eloise maintains contact with the current owners, Edward Cash and Sally Johnson, and her enthusiasm prevails throughout the camp.
     The Eloise H. Temple Spirit Cup is awarded to the club showing outstanding spirit during each session and is the highest honor bestowed at Camp Skyline.

Eloise penned this message for the girls which is as true for today as ever:

     "A good camp doesn't just happen.  It is the result of careful planning and a great deal of effort by a director who is sincerely interested in your character and personality development as well as your physical welfare.  Good counselors are selected for your benefit, and they play a most important part in making our camp a good one.
     Good Sportsmanship helps you fit into our life at Skyline.  Your entire life will be influenced by the place you make for yourself here at Skyline.
     Good camping is not cheap, neither is it expensive.  But you can make it worth many times what it cost by taking advantage of the many opportunities available.
     We provide the right environment, the best leadership, and the inspiration, but what you take away from camp will depend on your attitude toward the program, the counselors, and the other campers.
     Lifelong friendships are formed at camp.  Memories that will live with you always will be priceless possessions.  We want you to have fun at camp, but we also want you to acquire many new skills and to learn to get along with everybody.
     When you come to Skyline, come prepared to be FRIENDLY to all.
     Come prepared to be CHEERFUL.
     Come prepared to be UNSELFISH.
    

As Owners      We invite you to join us!  Since 1947, Camp Skyline has provided the finest camping experience available to children from around the world.  Helping Children is a serious responsibility.       Most parents send their children to camp because they know that the strong influence of a good camp can have a very positive and lasting effect on the lives of their children.  Camp Skyline accepts this trust with concern and a deep sense of responsibility.      As owners, we feel a keen sense of responsibility for the spiritual nourishment of our girls, and we will endeavor to provide a strong Christian atmosphere for them.  While Camp Skyline is non-denominational, we will always seek Christian staff members and counselors.      We feel that the staff MUST set the best example possible.  Young people are impressionable, and the camp environment MUST be safe, clean, and wholesome.      Since there is approximately one counselor for every five girls, your daughter is assured individual attention and guidance.  Your child will not lose her identity as an individual, while she will be encouraged to do her part for the group as a whole.      In closing, we express our wish that you have enjoyed these web pages declaring the essence of Skyline.  We will appreciate the opportunity to have your "radiant possibility" as one of our children for a summer your daughter will remember fondly forever. Thank You, Sylvia & Edward Cash Sally & Larry Johnson

You will leave camp a finer girl, possessing more poise and loving others and God more than you ever have."
