Sponsorships Sought For Winter Blast Retreat By Ann Mead Ash
Both Carl Edwards, youth center director with CrossNet Ministries,
and assistant youth center director Shanice Smith-Starr agree that one of the best reasons to take area high school students to Camp Orchard
Hill each year for Winter Blast is that the retreat gives students and staff a chance to build relationships. “That is why students continue to
pester Shanice and me about when registration is starting,” shared Edwards. “They have been asking for weeks.” See Winter Blast pg 7
