FROM FAMILY WEEK
“Camp was a ‘Meeting Place with God’ for our family. Being in nature, seeing God’s amazing creation pulls you all closer to him. The devotions were AWESOME and easy for all to understand and the speaker was absolutely AWESOME. What’s more, the staff is the best ever, always eager to help. We never want to leave. The amount of joy and blessings this week is wonderful and just AWESOME!”
