Yesterday, Mike and I had the privilege of helping with a fundraiser for a new Christian camp for children. The camp, Camp Willow Springs, will be the sister camp to our alum, Camp Willow Run. It will be adjacent to CWR and will be built specifically for grade-schoolers. The big reason for this camp is that CWR has had to turn away around thousands and thousands of campers due to lack of space. Almost 500 just this past summer. Willow Springs will enable us to double the amount of children able to learn about Jesus!
The initial designs for Camp Willow Springs are AWESOME. I would LOVE to send Jackson there... Lord willing, the funds will come in to enable this camp to be built by that time.
We were able to see camp alumni (young and old) that we haven't seen in a while. Also, Dot Helms, the wife of former senator Jesse Helms, spoke at the fundraiser. She and Jesse have been major supporters of both camps for decades. It was so neat to hear about their involvement and love for seeing children come to know Christ.
