Memories from Spiritual Refreshing in Support of Save The Oaks Camp

The amazing impact of retreats.

As the Oaks Camp and Conference Center is launching a Save The Oaks Fundraising Campaign, I can't help but think of all the memories I hold near and dear to my heart that I've had there. For 8 years we hosted every Spiritual Refreshing Retreat at The Oaks. Year after year, the team and I looked forward to getting to the top of that mountain to breathe in the fresh air and to be refreshed, restored, and renewed in the Lord. Our weekends were filled with joy, laughter, and God's presence. We took full advantage of all that the Oaks had to offer, whether it was hiking, staying up night talking in the Refugio, or testing our skills at archery and the zip line. The Oaks has been an incredible blessing to those that have been fortunate enough to have spent any amount of time there. Please pray that they would get the money they need to save this camp! Here are a few photos of us, the Spiritual Refreshing crew, enjoying our time at The Oaks Camp and Conference Center.
