This past summer we received an encouraging note from a young woman who attended camp as part of our outreach ministry to the NC Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ). The note said: I attended your camp a long time ago, and it absolutely changed my life. I was a young teenager incarcerated at a juvenile detention center and was given the opportunity to go to Camp Willow Run for good behavior. I still to this day have some of the most vivid, beautiful, and inspiring memories of my time there. It truly changed my life. The music, the fellowship, the pure joy of life I felt in that one…
