Adults and the Retreat Experience At Lake Huron Retreat Center, there are hundreds of adults each year experiencing the joyful wonder of retreating. The staff at the Center host a variety of groups annually – women expressing their talents through quilting, scrap booking or embroidery. Men come to spend time in worship and study and families visit to enjoy time together. Ministry Jubilee funds help support some specific programs at Lake Huron Retreat Center. God’s Treasures Camp ministers to 60 special needs campers, in two summer sessions. This camp features everything a typical camp week would contain – crafts, recreation, Bible stories, music, swim time, even a Talent Show. Some of our camps have attended this program for nearly 20 years. It is the highlight of their entire year! A dedicated group of volunteers brings an equal level of commitment to the program. Teddy Bear Camp is a program designed for children entering Kindergarten or First Grade, along with an adult. Perhaps this adult is a parent, grandparent or aunt/uncle. Precious time is spent between adult and child in this 24-hour camp experience. Again, the program contains all the elements of a camp week. Lakeshore Interlude is another long-standing tradition at Lake Huron Retreat Center. Men and women, ages 55 and older, have gathered at the lakeshore for years for Bible Study, lectures and discussions, worship and fellowship. Ministry Jubilee funds assist in providing craft materials, rhythm instruments, curriculum, lifeguards, first aid supplies and much more. Because of the large number of volunteer staff needed for God’s Treasures, Ministry Jubilee funds help offset the cost of staff room and board. On behalf of the staff at Lake Huron Retreat Center and all those who participate in our summer programs, I say THANK YOU for your support of Ministry Jubilee. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of many! Thank you! -
Rev. Ann Emerson, CCCP
