Silver Lake: Celebrations, Listening Sessions, and Open Positions
This past summer, Silver Lake Camp and Retreat Center delivered on its long-time tradition of helping young people learn about who they are, learn about others, learn about living in community, and learn to simply be, just as they always have. Days were filled with games, crafts, discussions, swimming, ropes adventures, quiet time, gardening, campfires, evening vespers, worship, food and fun.
Read about what camper families had to say about their experience, the upcoming listening sessions to imagine a bright future, and the job opportunities available now.
