We are a space set apart for finding joy and reconnecting with nature, one another, and ourselves. We do this year-round by hosting summer camps, retreats, and outdoor experiences. This home away from home creates opportunities to make memories, explore in nature while growing to know yourself and the community you are here with in bolder ways. From their web site at

Years later, in 1988, at Baptist Church in Tarrytown, NY, met someone who had thrown her piece of wood in the fire and became a Christian. Upon asking, it was at Gretna church camp. Unfortunately, I did ask for any more details.
