DO NOT USE ONLINE MAPPING SITES FOR DIRECTIONS TO CAMP AGAPÉ.
Sites such as Mapquest and Yahoo Maps do fine to find city addresses,
but have proven to be unreliable when directing people to Camp Agapé,
often getting people lost or lengthening their travel by over 1/2 hour.
Please only use the DIRECTIONS provided on this web site.
