We invite you to join us as we move, pray, rest, craft, and play together in person at Camp Washington where we will eat delicious food, breathe fresh air, and gather together as colleagues.

- Soaking up the sun at the waterfront, swimming, reading, or bringing your fishing gear and seeing what you can catch (and release)
- Creating teams to play volleyball, bocce or croquet!
- Joining in board games, puzzles, or classic summer camp crafts.
