Together…for our children
We just wrapped up our 21st Fall Mother-Daughter Legacy Retreat at Camp Willow Run. There were 73 Moms and 83 middle school, high school and college daughters who participated in this unique and special week-end. Our speaker has a heart for leading young women and their Moms to understand what it means to find completion in Christ.

Camp Willow Run can readily host Mother-Daughter, Father-Son and Super High retreats….times that we thoroughly enjoy planning…

A Special Picture
September 5, Jeremy Davis and I decided to take a boat ride around the lake. As we departed we experienced some rain but decided we were going to make the best of the trip regardless. A couple of hours later we put the boat away and while walking up the hill towards my truck, Jeremy told me to turn around and look up. What I saw was a beautiful rainbow. It was only fitting that the rainbow rest over the property at Camp Willow Springs. This rainbow seemed to be full of color and meaning. The rainbow cast its color in a semi-circle, starting at the trees and fading back…
