Linda Harris, Co-Founder & Executive Director, Retires

Linda Harris will be retiring from the role of Executive Director of Youth Camps For Christ, Inc. (YCFC) on December 31, 2019. She is Co-Founder of YCFC, which owns and operates Camp Willow Run (CWR) established in 1968 and Camp Willow Springs (CWS) established in 2014. Linda has worked with the organization for 51 years and has served in many roles including Camp Director and Executive Director. Linda has seen this ministry grow from serving 54 day campers in the summer of 1968 to serving 3,000 overnight campers between both CWS & CWR in summer 2019.

Linda’s faith, love, commitment, and dedication are evident. She has committed her life’s work to serving the Lord and leaves a legacy of faith that is an example for us all. We will greatly miss Linda’s cheerful face and seeing her at camp on a daily basis.

Linda will continue to serve as a member of the YCFC Board of Directors and will remain involved with this ministry. As you visit camp, you just may catch her leading a camper Bible study or helping with one of the mother daughter retreats!

Thank you Linda for your faithful service! You have touched and impacted many lives. We love you!


“I will sing of the steadfast love of the Lord, forever;
with my mouth I will make known your faithfulness to all generations.”
