It was a day of crazy weather at camp, but that didn't stop us! Wednesday nights are time for our Revival service. It is a time where meaningful skits are presented, and songs are sung to worship God. This year we are basing it around the story of the Ragman. It is a powerful time and is always enjoyed by guests and staff!
