Spring Festival 2024

Brethren Woods is excited to announce Festival will be held at camp on Saturday, April 27th!  This is a day filled with fun, fellowship, and lots of ways to support camp’s ministry!  Don’t miss all the Spring Festival classics including the trout fishing contest, yard sale, pancake breakfast, Hike-a-Thon, hay rides, petting zoo, zip line rides, pedal boat rides, Dunk the Dunkard booth, activities for all ages (like games, crafts, treats, emergency vehicles, mini golf, and more!), Kiss the Cow, the auction, and (of course!) lots of delicious food!  Plus, enjoy new activities like the climbing tower and an inflatable bounce house and obstacle course.

Donations Needed for Yard Sale (7am-12pm) and Auction (11:45am-2pm)

It’s time for some spring cleaning and donating Yard Sale items that you don’t need anymore but someone else would be happy to use.  We’re also looking for comforters, crafts, theme baskets, collectables, artwork, wall hangings, cars, wooden toys, homemade items, quilts, woodworking projects, antiques, and other specialty items for the Auction.  Yard Sale and Auction items can be dropped off at camp starting April 25th.  Plan to come out to bid, buy, and take home a treasure!
