Silver Lake Camp & Retreat Center Name Change

"One of the things I love about camp is the way it both stays the same and is always changing....The heart of Silver Lake has not changed. A part of the name has changed to better reflect the ministry we do today and, really, have always done."

Read more about the Silver Lake name change (effective January 1, 2022) from The Rev. Ryan Gackenheimer, Silver Lake Executive Director


 

THANK YOU!

Thank you for your continued generosity and support of Silver Lake, our mission and ministry.

Thanks to special collections at the 2021 Silver Lake Award in October and the retirement celebration for Stephanie Pitman in November, in addition to the gifts made on Giving Tuesday, we have received over $14,000 to the Silver Lake Scholarship Fund this fall.

In addition, as of December 15, we have raised over $16,000 to the Fund for Silver Lake as part of the 2021 Annual Appeal.

There's still time to include Silver Lake in your end-of-year giving. Make your gift today - silverlakect.org/donate-now
