"Dear Camp Retreat"

Friday night and Saturday we had a wonderful group of ladies (about 90) come to our annual
Dear Camp Retreat at the Great Wolf Lodge. What a great time we had! Two of my friends, Sharon and Deb came from the Grand Rapids area to share in this weekend, along with Beckie who is right here in Manton!


We had a group called "Women of the Bible" that told the stories of 7 Bible women in drama. They were fantastic!

Friday night, we had a great priase time followed by "bait pile" (snacks) that we all brought! What a huge array of food! Of course, we all stayed up way too late, talking and eating!

Saturday, we had a hilarious "fashion show" and also one that was from "Kohls" to show us the newest winter clothing. Our "heart spa" workshops included "healing hands"- (scrubs, creams, waxing), we made decorated flip flops, and then did a "pampering pedicure" - we had 50 "tubs" for soaking feet! We also "wrapped our worries away" when we made "neck wraps"- when you put them in the microwave, they feel so great around your neck! With each of these workshops, we had a spiritual application using the "woman at the well" in John 4 as a basis for our devotions. It is the prayer of the committee that the ladies that came were refreshed spiritually and physically and socially! I know I was!
