Woodcrest Schedules Annual Fundraiser By Ann Mead Ash
In 2017, Woodcrest Retreat added a Kids Camp Bonanza, complete with camp-style activities for children, during its annual benefit auction. The activities, which feature a variety of stations, such as crafts, a nature lesson, and camp games, proved so popular, Woodcrest made them a regular part of the event. This year’s Bonanza will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and include regularly scheduled activities from 9 to 11 a.m. and carnival games for a nominal fee from 12:30 to 3 p.m. This year’s auction, which will be held on Saturday, Oct. 5, at Woodcrest Retreat, 225 Woodcrest Drive, Ephrata, will begin at 9 a.m. with an assortment of donated items going up for bids. Among these will be household items, home décor, fall plants, tools, and gift certificates. Large items and specialty items
will be sold at 10:30 a.m. Homemade bread will be sold at 10:30 a.m. as well. Baked goods made by children who attend the fair may be entered to win a cash prize. Children may enter a cookie, a cookie bar, a pie, or a cake between 8:45 and 10:30 a.m. to be judged and then auctioned at 11:30 a.m. The special baked goods sale gives children who attend camp at Woodcrest a way to help support the ministry. Gift certificates will be auctioned at 2 p.m., and remaining food will be auctioned at 3 p.m. Kids Camp Bonanza activities will include a chance to try a sling shot, archery, wood burning, rocket launching, and more. A doughnut-eating contest will be held at 11 a.m. A nominal fee will be charged to ride the barrel train. A bounce house will be on-site throughout the event. Breakfast items will be sold beginning See Woodcrest pg 3

This year’s event will be held at the camp on Oct. 5. Funds raised by the auction will help keep camp fees lower for each camper.
