In 2017, Woodcrest Retreat added a Kids Camp Bonanza, complete with campstyle 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, See Woodcrest pg 5

Displaying items that will go up for bids at the annual Woodcrest Retreat Auction and Kids Camp Bonanza are (from left) Theo Zook, Lydia Keiser, camp director Cliff Martin, and Domingo Metzler. 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.
