CAMREC Spring Gathering
Reflect on Earth Day, Re-imagine WMF, Take care of CAMREC
Bring your family and friends to this free opportunity to explore the marvels of spring time at camp as we gather to reflect on Earth Day, connect with the Washington Mennonite Fellowship community through the WMF Annual Meeting, and care for camp during our Spring Work Weekend. If you are interested in extending your time at camp and volunteering further, consider coming out between April 17 - 20 to assist on the Staff House Project, currently in drywall and mudding stages.
