MEET TARA

• Tara Knudson Carl, Ph.D is our new Director of Operations.

• Tara is our go-to person for all things HR & operations.

• When she’s not helping with the day-to-day operations here at camp, she’s either reading, golfing, or chauffeuring her daughter, Piper, around.

• Her family also took on a new venture this school year adding, Sofie, an exchange student from Norway to their family.

We are so happy to welcome Tara to our team!

We rounded out our summer with TWO golf outings!

The Kearney Camp Classic was held at Meadowlark Hills on August 19, with 53 golfers. A record-breaking 152 golfers joined us at the Ashland Golf Club on September 23, for the Carol Joy Holling Camp Classic.

These golf outings included fun games and competitions in addition to the 18-hole scramble. Golfers enjoyed delicious lunches at the start of the events. Our new 19th Hole celebration was a great place for golfers to connect with old and new friends after their round, learn who won each flight, and collect their prizes.

Fun and games aside, we raised more than $78,000 to support summer camping programs at Carol Joy Holling and Sullivan Hills Camps. We are thrilled these funds will enable so many campers to experience Faith: Alive! next summer.

Mark your calendars now:

“Gorgeous nature setting, peaceful surroundings. Absolutely lovely, wonderful place. I have recommended other UNO groups to Carol Joy Holling Camp, Conference & Retreat Center. It’s a perfect place to get out of the office and connect with coworkers.”

“The staff were not only professional, but cared for our staff and participants in a genuine Christlike manner. They made us feel at home and were available to meet any questions that arose. It was a real blessing to spend the week with you.”

“From the moment we met our building host, to the minute we left, we were met with great people who went out of their way to help us. The host, the kitchen staff, the housekeeping and all other employees were wonderful. We had a fantastic time at the camp and it was perfect for our purposes of family and church together time. Your buildings and facilities are so impressive and well kept.”
