★★★★★Suzy BakerI go up every year and would highly recommend it. It's beautiful, the food is great, the staff are amazing, and it's so peaceful.
★★★★★JulieEnjoyed the Winter FUN Extravaganza with the church gals from Way of the Lord in Blaine, MN! Time indeed flew by as we were having fun, creating cherished memories and strengthening bonds within the church community. As an adventurous Christian exploring my new church community, I found special treasures thru my spiritual connection with the Lord & nature in this journey. Faith, Church Family, awesome activities, outdoor hikes, and engaging the Lords peace served up a unique blend of adventure and spiritual growth. It's about embracing faith with a sense of curiosity, openness, and a willingness to step beyond comfort zones, discovering God's presence in various experiences. I definitely had a wonderful and joyful time despite little snow this year! The Staff: Matt, Lena, Trisha, Aaron, Gus, Eric & a Special Sister addition from the Ocontoe camp next door - Christy, Jody & Audrianna ALL get a huge Round of applause, especially Trisha... The most adorable (growing fast with wisdom) campy guide ever! Thanks, Matt, for being a great director and you're fun-loving encouragment. Aaron, it was such a treat to have You lead us on that first little hike that was so Powerfully met by the presence of God... And I can't forget Lena, the glorious galley slave... Thanks for letting me grab those recipes. You sure cook up a storm! Blessings to you all❣️💞✝️💓🤗💗💕
