April Newsletter

This past weekend, we held our Spring Women’s Retreat at camp - and it was an enjoyable time! Participants relaxed by the fire, worked on craft projects, explored the trails, and spent time with our camp animals. It was a weekend filled with good conversations, new and old friendships, and simple, meaningful moments.

Sunday morning brought an unexpected touch of winter with a light blanket of snow, but it quickly melted as the day warmed up and everyone headed home.

We’re looking forward to making the Spring Women’s Retreat a regular event, so keep an eye out for next year's dates. In the meantime, mark your calendars for our Fall Women's Retreat:
