About the Fall Retreat:
We hope that you will feel God’s presence this
weekend. Hopefully, you will have some time to relax
and enjoy God’s beauty, which is in abundance at
Camp Walter Scott.
Learn and Worship:
Gather together as we learn from the sessions led by our
speaker, Rev. Tracy Siegman. We will worship around the
campfire for Saturday night Vespers and at the beautiful
outdoor sanctuary on Sunday (weather permitting).
Campfires:
There will be hospitality camp fires.
Fellowship:
Meet new friends and visit with friends that you have known a
long time. Don’t forget the singing – we will be singing fun
camp songs too!
Service Projects:
Work on camp projects, write letters to military personnel,
and some other projects
Craft Projects:
Create crafts that you take home with you. (Bringing your own
scissors is helpful)
What to Bring:
Bible, bedding, towels and toiletries, (whether you are staying
in a cabin, hogan, retreat house or lodge loft), scissors for
crafts, notepad and pen.
