Celebrating New Programs - Summer 2023 brought the opportunity for Pine Lake Camp to offer 4 new programs! We celebrate all the campers, supports, donors, and partners that allowed the programs to bring our mission to new populations of campers. Rooted welcomed adults for a time of deep learning and connection parallel to staff training. Our Mini Artisans blossomed with their creativity and dabbled in new skills. Onsite Day Camp made camp more accessible to families where overnight programs were limiting. Self Determination Camp welcomed adults with disabilities into faith-filled community - and there was so much laughter.
Fall Crafting Retreat - Nov 3rd-5th - Imagine the progress you will make with dedicated time and space for your quilting and crafting arts. Surrounded by fellow makers, you'll be inspired by the variety of skill and projects. With meals provided (Friday & Saturday: brunch & dinner, Sunday: brunch) and devotions available, your time will be maximized to develop those works of art! Thursday night early arrival or Monday late departure are optional add ons, with meals on your own. $160-$190/Person
