What's not to love? We get to spend time with God, soak up all the beauty of the nature around us, and also have wonderful fellowship with each other! When the program is over on Saturday afternoon, it's time to have some fun. We can hike around the trails on the property; canoe on the lake; have a totally crazy hayride by Sam Taylor; a bonfire, complete with s'mores and stories, in the evening; and karaoke into the wee hours of the morning.
Pass It On Ministries (POM), the ministry group that has given our retreat program for the past three years, always love coming up to Kirkwood, too. Several of the POM ladies mentioned to me that they look forward to coming to Kirkwood every fall; they feel like they're going away to camp! I would recommend Camp Kirkwood to any group who is looking for a place for their youth to go to camp or an adult weekend retreat: it's such a beautiful, peaceful place to be, and I really feel the presence of God every time I'm here.
