An Update from YCFC, Inc.
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…

Father & Son Retreat in Review
On September 11-13, Camp Willow Springs hosted its inaugural Father & Son Retreat. The weekend was filled with games and recreation, great food, quality time together as a family, and times of worship and Bible study. Jonathan Spangler, of Vision Trust, encouraged the dads and sons in their relationship with Christ and each other. Some of the retreat highlights included: glow in the dark capture the flag, riding the red shark, building birdhouses, the jumping pillow, the father/son olympics, and lots of octoball! We are excited for this to become an annual event, so make plans to join us in September 2016!
