My son and I left camp with full hearts and unforgettable memories- from our first zip line adventure to silly conversations about bubbles and confetti. We laughed, learned more about each other, and felt deeply connected to God and His beautiful creation.

I just wanted to pass on my gratitude for such a wonderful day at Deer Run with my son today.  Everything was perfectly planned with the boxed lunches, activities and communication prior to the event. All the staff were pleasant and helpful.  Being there today brought back memories of when I was a kid at camp and I am so thankful I was able to experience it again with my son. I will say it was the most enjoyable day I’ve had in a long time. Thanks again!

I'm especially grateful for the space you provided to slow down and truly engage with my son. it was a gift to hold his hand, share new experiences, and strengthen our bond in such a special setting.
