Update From the Lake

A monthly email update from Silver Lake.

If you've ever experienced a week (or a summer) at camp, you have an idea of the phenomenon that is "camp time." The individual days can feel long, but the week feels like it just flies by. And the summer camp season is gone in the blink of an eye!

Thank you to the volunteers for taking time out of your busy lives to care for our campers and create life-changing memories.

Thank you to the campers for pushing your comfort zones and creating a community where we Love God, Love Our Neighbors, Love Ourselves, and Love Creation.

Thank you to the families for recognizing the importance of a summer camp experience and entrusting us with your camper for a week (or more!)

Thank you to the summer staff for dedicating your summer to provide a safe space where everyone is welcomed for who they are exactly as God made them.

Thank you to the entire Silver Lake and Southern New England Conference community for your ongoing support of the Silver Lake ministry.

The Summer 2022 season at Silver Lake may be over, but the experiences and memories will last a lifetime, and we can't wait to see you back at the Lake soon for more fun!
