ABOUT THE CCIW WOMEN’S RETREAT

We pray that you will feel God’s presence this week-end.  We hope you will take the time to relax and enjoy the beauty of God’s creation found at Camp Walter Scott.

We have Bible study, keynote sessions and activities on Saturday.  There are Evening Vespers on Saturday night around the campfire.  There is a Sunday worship service.
