About the Awards

Silver Lake Award

The Silver Lake Award is a lifetime achievement award that recognizes someone whose life has been visibly shaped by the core value of Silver Lake Camp & Retreat Center. 

We are looking for someone who lives their life and faith in a way that reflect the formative experiences they have had at Silver Lake. This person truly takes Silver Lake home with them beyond Low Road.

Other nominees this year included Kimberlee Cornett Fenn, Bryan Breault, Christopher Miller, The Mulvaney Family (Don, Ledell, Kat, Devin), John Cooksey, and Chris Mereschuk.
