"Young at Heart" Fall Seniors Retreat 2008
September 15-18, 2008
Join us each Spring and Fall for four days and three nights of fellowship, worship, fantastic Bible teaching, and quiet strolls on some of Camp's trails. Geared for folks ages 55 and over, the Senior Retreat is a wonderful way to reconnect with old friends . . . and make a few new ones along the way! All denominations are welcome. Camp’s “senior friendly” facilities (e.g. elevator, handicap accommodations, helpful staff) make it possible for most everyone to enjoy a visit. You'll leave having laughed a lot, and more importantly, with your walk with Christ encouraged.
