Grand Camp at Wesley Woods Camp & Retreat Center was awesome last week! Temps soared into the mid-90s and our grands and campers were champs!! Thank you to all our grandparents who invested in the lives of your sweet grands. It was an honor to serve with you and thank you for your grace and kindness.

Special thanks to Rev. Anita Hahn for volunteering to share God’s Word while being a Grand counselor, as well! Anita shared how God guides, God provides and how God grows our faith - and we were so blessed by her messages.

Thank you to all the support/maintenance staff from Lake Michigan Family Campground, lifeguards, office support, cleaning crew and chefs!

We’ll be praying for you grands and campers through this next year. We hope to see you again next year! God Bless you all! -Krista Clark
