“This camp experience is the highlight of my daughter’s year! It’s the combination of meeting new people, seeing friends from other years, enjoying the outdoors, along with new and favorite activities with others. Sharing in prayer, eating together, and so much more – all contribute to memories that enrich and last a lifetime.”
