    As we prepared to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday, my son, Thad, was given a school assignment to write a paragraph about the things for which he is thankful. Thad wrote: “I am thankful for a lot of stuff.  Here are some things.  I am thankful for my family, my dog, a house, food, Camp Willow Run and Camp Willow Springs, a bed, an iPad, legos, friends, God, and Jesus.  The thing I am most thankful for is God and Jesus because God made me and Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sins.  Those are the things I am thankful for.” – Thad Harris, 4th grade  What…

  • Mother Daughter Retreat – Cancelled

    After continuing to monitor the weather, we will cancel the retreat for this weekend. With the uncertainty of potential flooding and high winds, we feel this decision is best for everyone’s safety. Unfortunately, there are no remaining weekends available in 2016 to reschedule this retreat.   We will be issuing full refunds early next week. We will miss having each of you at camp. Hope to see you in 2017.
