We unfortunately have had to cancel our Family Camp due to low enrollment. But on the bright side, that means we can open July 3-5 to ANYONE who is looking for a peaceful campground for the holiday weekend! We have camping cabins and campsites for tents or RVs available.
The pool will be open on Saturday afternoon, and on Sunday morning there will be a worship service in the Tabernacle that all our guests are invited to join. Rebecca Tyson, pastor of Trinity UCC in Timberville, was slated to be the speaker for Family Camp, and her whole church will be gathering in the Tab on July 5 for their Sunday service.

Summer camp time is here! This past week was staff training, and this wonderful bunch were here to learn what they need to do their jobs well, and to bond as a team. We`re excited about this group, and the handful of other staff who will be joining us later in the summer. Please keep our summer staff in your prayers as our first group of campers come tomorrow!

If you have a camper who missed out on registering for Day Camp before it filled up way back in January, we have good news for you! We have TWELVE open spots in Day Camp due to some unexpected cancellations in the last few days. Tell a friend who might want a Day Camp spot! This is a great time to do it, since there are also just a few days left before the Refer-a-Friend program deadline (a new camper can note who referred them (not a sibling) when they register, and as long as both campers are signed up for any week of camp, they can each get $25 for the camp store).
The new Day Camp availability is as follows: ages 7-8: eight spots open**, mostly girls; ages 9-12: four spots open**, boys only.
**Since our current openings are somewhat specific, all new registrations will start on a waitlist until we can review and make sure we have a spot for the camper. Spots will be assigned in the order that the campers are added to the waitlist.
More info on Day Camp and the Refer-a-Friend program on our website. See Summer Camp link in bio.

We had a truly beautiful day last Saturday for the Celebration gathering. The rainy, chilly weather we`re currently experiencing makes us even more grateful for the sunshine and warm weather we enjoyed last weekend!
We also enjoyed the excellent meal served by our staff, board, and volunteers, and a great concert by The Walking Roots Band. It was fun to have the stage fill with children to help sing some songs! The kids also enjoyed racing plastic ducks in the stream and jumping into the pool for the first swim of the season, as well as games, tours, and treats at the summer camp open house. We`re grateful for everyone who attended -- you all helped make it a wonderful event!
