July Greetings
Each week we have a “Boxcar Roster” with the names and boxcar assignments for all campers. During week # 7, July 17-23, High School campers were at camp. Just about all of these teenagers have been campers for four to ten years. We are watching them “grow up” and grow in their faith. Their joy and exuberance for the Lord and life are invigorating! We are also excited about the growth at Camp Willow Springs. The Surveyor has staked off the location for two more buildings. The camp office and the health care center are next for construction. This work begins this week. The need is to open Camp Willow…

Our Children… A Treasure Beyond Measure!
Together, we make a difference in the lives of the children. It is a partnership with an eternal investment. Thousands of children have been spiritually nurtured and encouraged in their faith through involvement in Camp Willow Run’s summer and retreat programs. Hundreds and hundreds of others missed that opportunity due to lack of space during summer sessions. Weeks continue to have waiting lists. Working together, we are making a difference in the development of Camp Willow Springs. Thanks to donors, two dorms are completed. We need to continue construction of dorms and other Phase One facilities. The two largest facilities need funding so that construction can begin this summer. The…

A Word from Linda Harris
Recently, as I opened an envelope, there was a small, bright yellow sheet of stationery wrapped around a gift for Camp Willow Springs.

Here is something to help God’s plan for advancement in His kingdom. Thanks for all you do!” We praise God for the influence camp had in the life of this young woman, now a wife and mother. I am so touched by the reason for this gift. * “CWR has always meant so…

The End of the Year Update
It has been an exciting year as we have been able to watch the construction of the first two dormitories on the Camp Willow Springs (CWS) property! These duplex dormitories have two sleeping areas and a joint activity/meeting room. Each dorm will be able to accommodate twenty-two campers and staff. Our next steps in Phase One of CWS will be to install the community water system and various septic systems. As construction continues, we intend to begin work on the camp office and health care center. While the strides we have made are exciting, our greatest area of need at this time is the construction of the dining hall. The…

CWR Office Field Trip!
On Friday the Camp Willow Run staff closed the office for a few minutes to visit the Camp Willow Springs site. There was a lot of excitement as the staff saw the dormitories and walked through them imagining the day that children would be there for summer camp. The visit concluded with a special time of prayer thanking the Lord for His faithfulness and seeking His guidance in completing Camp Willow Springs.
