You’re invited to join us at Friends Camp 2024! At this no-cost retreat, you’ll see the Summer Ministry Team in action and learn about our plans for camp. And, just like the campers, you will enjoy the opportunity to connect with old friends and make some new ones too.

If you cannot come for the whole event, please join us for dinner at the Swanson Retreat Center at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 11.

​

We'd love to meet your friends too! Please let us know if you'd like to bring a friend.
