SUMMARY:Pastors & Ministry Leaders Conference
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our Pastors & Ministry Leaders Conference!\n  \n\nSpeaker: Dr. Tony Hart\nTony was born in 1954 to missionary parents\, Dr. B. Sam & Joyce Hart. Tony and his wife\, Carol\, have been married for 40+ years and have four children\, one daughter and three sons\, and seven grandchildren. Although Tony was born in Boston\, MA\, he calls Philadelphia his home after moving there at a very young age. In 1998\, Tony took over his father’s role as President of GOGF Ministries. Through GOGF Ministries\, he offers pastoral training in developing countries that have limited access to Biblical training. \n  \n  \n  \n\nWorship Leaders: Jeff & Sue Duffield\nAside from the fact that they have new life doing contemporary hymns and even the “Oldies”\, they have always been exceptional and creative artists. Since the early 70s\, while Jeff and Sue had major media venues of opportunity and exposure (PTL Club\, 700 Club\, 100 Hundred Huntley Street – Canada) they never strived for commercial success. Sue not only has an incredible vocal ability\, she also writes much of the material they perform.Jeff is a sought-after keyboardist\, playing\, producing\, and arranging for artists/ministries such as: Jimmy Fortune (of the Statler Brothers)\, Doug Oldham\, the Original Couriers\, Ben “Cooter” Jones of the Dukes of Hazzard\, Sammy Hall\, Dave Boyer\, Canton Junction\, and John Hagee Ministries. The choice to perform a more jazz\, soulful-influenced repertoire instead of mainstream gospel\, a more conservative direction\, proved to be their signature strength. The Duffields were performing this worship flavor a decade or more before it became popular.Their music is rich with many layers. They are truly musicians’ musicians\, but most will say Jeff and Sue’s hearts are even bigger than their music. In their later years\, it’s become quite evident that their real joy is helping other artists and ministries. Their love for Jesus shines in everything they do. \n  \n  \nOnly $50 per person\n(Monday Dinner – Thursday Breakfast)\nThe cost includes: \n\nYour accommodations\nMeals\nConference sessions\nUse of facilities\n\nThe conference is a $50 Flat rate\, and accommodation buildings are chosen on a first come\, first served basis.\nNote: Pricing is subject to change \n  \n  \nBook your stay TODAY by calling (800) 453-7942!

SUMMARY:Memorial Day Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Kick-off our 2025 Summer Conference Season here at America’s Keswick!\nTheme verse: \n“I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him\, he it is that bears much fruit\, for apart from me you can do nothing” ~ John 15:5 (ESV)\n  \nJoin us this weekend in remembering the men and women who sacrificed their lives and gave everything so we can have the freedoms we take for granted every day. \n  \n \nSpeaker: Dr. Dave Edwards \nDr. Dave Edwards is an author of 13 books and\, for more than a decade\, has been sharing his unique brand of ministry. He speaks over 500 times each year to over 250\,000 people. Dave’s goal is to help people discover the importance of a Christ-centered lifestyle and bring them one step closer in the process of knowing and becoming like Jesus Christ. \n  \n  \n  \nMusic & Worship by: Jeff & Sue Duffield\nAside from the fact that they have new life doing contemporary hymns and even the “Oldies”\, they have always been exceptional and creative artists. Since the early 70s\, while Jeff and Sue had major media venues of opportunity and exposure (PTL Club\, 700 Club\, 100 Hundred Huntley Street – Canada) they never strived for commercial success. Sue not only has an incredible vocal ability\, she also writes much of the material they perform.Jeff is a sought-after keyboardist\, playing\, producing\, and arranging for artists/ministries such as: Jimmy Fortune (of the Statler Brothers)\, Doug Oldham\, the Original Couriers\, Ben “Cooter” Jones of the Dukes of Hazzard\, Sammy Hall\, Dave Boyer\, Canton Junction\, and John Hagee Ministries. The choice to perform a more jazz\, soulful-influenced repertoire instead of mainstream gospel\, a more conservative direction\, proved to be their signature strength. The Duffields were performing this worship flavor a decade or more before it became popular.Their music is rich with many layers. They are truly musicians’ musicians\, but most will say Jeff and Sue’s hearts are even bigger than their music. In their later years\, it’s become quite evident that their real joy is helping other artists and ministries. Their love for Jesus shines in everything they do. \n  \n  \nSpecial Features:\n\nMission updates with JAARS\nPatriotic Memorial Day Service\nBarbecue\n\n  \n  \n  \nJAARS (Jungle Aviation and Relay Service) uses aircraft\, boats\, and off-road vehicles to relay the Word of God\, the missionaries who translate it\, the people they minister to\, and the supplies they need across geographical barriers. A team from JAARS will be at America’s Keswick over Memorial Day weekend to chat and share about their mission and how you can help cover the last mile of missions.

SUMMARY:Young at Heart
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our 2025 Summer Conference Season here at America’s Keswick!\n\n  \nOur theme is “Deeply Rooted: Abiding in Christ” focusing on John 15:5 (ESV)\, “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him\, he it is that bears much fruit\, for apart from me you can do nothing.”\n  \n  \nSpeaker: Dr. David Sutter\nAmerica’s Keswick Board of Trustees \n\n\n  \n\n\n  \n  \n\n\nMusic & Worship: Jeff & Sue Duffield\nAside from the fact that they have new life doing contemporary hymns and even the “Oldies”\, they have always been exceptional and creative artists. Since the early 70s\, while Jeff and Sue had major media venues of opportunity and exposure (PTL Club\, 700 Club\, 100 Hundred Huntley Street – Canada) they never strived for commercial success. Sue not only has an incredible vocal ability\, she also writes much of the material they perform.Jeff is a sought-after keyboardist\, playing\, producing\, and arranging for artists/ministries such as: Jimmy Fortune (of the Statler Brothers)\, Doug Oldham\, the Original Couriers\, Ben “Cooter” Jones of the Dukes of Hazzard\, Sammy Hall\, Dave Boyer\, Canton Junction\, and John Hagee Ministries. The choice to perform a more jazz\, soulful-influenced repertoire instead of mainstream gospel\, a more conservative direction\, proved to be their signature strength. The Duffields were performing this worship flavor a decade or more before it became popular.Their music is rich with many layers. They are truly musicians’ musicians\, but most will say Jeff and Sue’s hearts are even bigger than their music. In their later years\, it’s become quite evident that their real joy is helping other artists and ministries. Their love for Jesus shines in everything they do. \n  \nMeals:\nEach meal starts with a staff member’s blessing in the food.

SUMMARY:Girls Weekend Away
DESCRIPTION:It’s that time of year again! Girls Weekend Away is one of our most exciting events of the year.\nBetween our music ministry\, fun games and activities\, and powerful messages\, this is an event you won’t want to miss.\n  \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Allison Durham Speer\n“My life’s path has been one filled with twists and turns\, stepping stones appearing where they were not the day before. God has truly ordered my steps. I was eating with Dr. Jerry Falwell one afternoon at a Bailey Smith Real Evangelism Conference in Woodstock\, GA. I mentioned to him that day that I was going to go back to school and study Bible. A week later I got a call at home from Liberty University. They informed me that I had been given a scholarship from Dr. Falwell to attend Liberty University in their online program. That was definitely a stepping stone where there was none the week before. […] My path is to bring people back to the study of the Bible. Many Christians do not read it\, still fewer study it[.] Because of my studies\, God has drawn me close to His side where I have found abiding joy and comfort. I now want to share that Secret Place of the Most High God with others\, not just in music\, but in speaking. […] Because of my intense study\, I now have been asked to bring whole messages for ladies events and church events. […] The Bible is the Living Word. It does not come alive when we read it\, we come alive to it. My goal is to cause listeners to come alive to the scripture again. I want people to mature spiritually\, and grow in their gifts\, to attain the confidence and authority they desire to minister to the world. […]” ~ Allison \n  \n  \n  \nMusic & Worship by: Garden State Worship Collective\nThe ministry of the collective is to raise up and unite worship leaders to create a dynamic community committed to leading God’s people into His presence through worship. Comprised of musicians from multiple churches around the Garden State\, we seek to provide a nurturing environment for spiritual birth\, growth\, and renewal\, fostering a deep and intimate relationship with Jesus as worship leads the way. We believe in the power of unity and collaboration\, fostering a community who are passionate about serving God and His people. We believe that together we can achieve far more than we can alone. \n \n  \n  \n  \nFull Weekend Overnight Packages:\nFriday evening – Sunday afternoon\nDouble occupancy – D | Single Occupancy – S\nPrivate Bathroom – (PB) | Hall Bathroom – (HB)\n\nSaint Memorial                    ——        $220 D\nRaws Memorial (PB)        $250 S       $200 D\nRaws Memorial (HB)       $230 S       $180 D\nVictory Hall (HB)              $215 S        $160 D\n\nBook your stay today!

Whether you’re kneading sourdough\, painting\, crafting with clay\, or sanding a charcuterie board\, this weekend retreat is for makers of all kinds—those who create with their hands and long to be formed by the hands of the Creator.\n  \n  \n\n\nSpeaker: Tucker Rodkey\nI agreed to go with my art teacher to Philly where we spent the afternoon painting large scale oil paintings that were modern retellings of biblical parables. The conversations flowed so naturally. That’s when the lightning bolt hit. WHAT IF WE USED ART TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL? When I was 18 I dropped out of college and began living out of my car\, traveling the East Coast of the US\, sharing the Gospel through speed painting on boardwalks\, street corners and churches. Two years later I launched Painting Freedom Ministries\, a Christian Arts non profit dedicated to spreading the Gospel through the art. Since launching Painting Freedom I have had the opportunity to travel all across the United States\, speaking at churches\, conferences\, schools\, outreaches\, festivals and even living room gatherings. \n  \n\n\nMusic & Worship by: Garden State Worship Collective\nThe ministry of the collective is to raise up and unite worship leaders to create a dynamic community committed to leading God’s people into His presence through worship. Comprised of musicians from multiple churches around the Garden State\, we seek to provide a nurturing environment for spiritual birth\, growth\, and renewal\, fostering a deep and intimate relationship with Jesus as worship leads the way. We believe in the power of unity and collaboration\, fostering a community who are passionate about serving God and His people. We believe that together we can achieve far more than we can alone. \n  \nChoose from five hands-on artisan paths:\n🧺 Sourdough Breadmaking \n🎨 Painting \n🎁 Polymer Clay Earrings & Jewelry Design \n🪵 Charcuterie Board Crafting (Woodworking) \n🛁 Natural Soaps\, Bath Bombs & Body Products \nYour weekend includes your chosen path of 4 immersive workshops led by skilled instructors\, main sessions for worship & biblical teaching\, devotions\, all meals\, and rich fellowship woven throughout. Saturday evening will feature our festive Christmas Tree Lighting Celebration\, ending the evening with holiday wonder and joy! \nChildren’s Ministry available during main Worship & Teaching Sessions only. \nPricing:\n$75 per person per path + choice of room below\, (no children’s rates available but children over 10 are welcome to join a path with their parent or guardian).\nDouble Occupancy – D | Single Occupancy – S\nPrivate Bathroom – PB | Hall Bathroom – HB \nSaint Memorial (PB)         $150 D    $225 S     $100 each additional person (5 max)\nRaws Memorial (PB)         $150 D    $225 S    $100 each additional person (3 or 4 max depend on Raws room)\nRaws Memorial (HB)        $125 D    $200 S\nVictory Hall (HB)               $125 D    $200 S \nCall 800.453.7942 to book your weekend stay!\n*Pricing and schedule is subject to change*

SUMMARY:Pastors & Ministry Leaders Conference
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nSpeaker: Rev. H.B. Charles\, Jr.\n“I am the Pastor-Teacher at the Shiloh Metropolitan Baptist Church of Jacksonville and Orange Park\, Florida\, where I have served since the fall of 2008. I am primarily responsible for preaching-teaching\, vision casting\, and leadership development – along with all the other tasks that go along with pastoral ministry. Prior to joining the Shiloh Church\, I led the Mt. Sinai Missionary Baptist Church of Los Angeles for almost eighteen years. Succeeding my late father\, I began my pastorate at Mt. Sinai at the age of seventeen – a senior in high school. Outside of my ministry to and with my congregation\, I regularly speak at churches\, conferences\, and conventions around the country. \nI am the author (or contributing author) of several books… It Happens After Prayer\, The Difference Jesus Makes\, Power in the Pulpit\, etc. I also write a blog [and am the] host of The On Preaching Podcast – a podcast dedicated to helping you preach faithfully\, clearly\, and better. \n  \n  \n\nWorship Leaders: Jeff & Sue Duffield\nAside from the fact that they have new life doing contemporary hymns and even the “Oldies”\, they have always been exceptional and creative artists. Since the early 70s\, while Jeff and Sue had major media venues of opportunity and exposure (PTL Club\, 700 Club\, 100 Hundred Huntley Street – Canada) they never strived for commercial success. Sue not only has an incredible vocal ability\, she also writes much of the material they perform.Jeff is a sought-after keyboardist\, playing\, producing\, and arranging for artists/ministries such as: Jimmy Fortune (of the Statler Brothers)\, Doug Oldham\, the Original Couriers\, Ben “Cooter” Jones of the Dukes of Hazzard\, Sammy Hall\, Dave Boyer\, Canton Junction\, and John Hagee Ministries. The choice to perform a more jazz\, soulful-influenced repertoire instead of mainstream gospel\, a more conservative direction\, proved to be their signature strength. The Duffields were performing this worship flavor a decade or more before it became popular.Their music is rich with many layers. They are truly musicians’ musicians\, but most will say Jeff and Sue’s hearts are even bigger than their music. In their later years\, it’s become quite evident that their real joy is helping other artists and ministries. Their love for Jesus shines in everything they do. \n  \n  \n$50 per person\nMonday Dinner – Thursday Breakfast\nWhat’s Included: \n\nAccommodations\nMeals\nConference sessions\nUse of facilities\n\n**Accommodations are chosen on a first come\, first served basis.\nNote: Pricing is subject to change \n  \nBook your stay TODAY by calling (800) 453-7942!\n  \nYour Program Schedule:

As the Lead Pastor of Solid Rock Community Church (West Unity\, OH)\, and the Business Systems Coordinator for the Barnes Foundation (Philadelphia\, PA)\, he embodies the heart of bi-vocational ministry—living out the gospel in the church\, the community\, and the workplace. His responsibilities give him the ability to connect with people in diverse settings and offer a grounded\, real-world perspective in everything he leads. \nIn addition to his pastoral and professional roles\, Pastor Rob serves as the presiding clergy for the Village of West Unity Council meetings and provides chaplaincy services alongside the local Police\, Fire\, and EMS Departments. He is also a monthly on-air host for YES FM’s morning broadcast\, The Morning Munch\, heard throughout the Midwest on radio and worldwide on iHeartRadio—another avenue through which he encourages listeners and points people to Christ. \nOrdained in 2002\, Pastor Rob brings more than two decades of ministry experience to his work. He has served as a youth pastor\, lead pastor\, church planter\, and coach for church planters in contexts ranging from rural Georgia to the Metro NYC area. He holds a B.A. in Pastoral Ministries and a Th.M. in Systematic Theology. His passion for strong\, biblical teaching and mission-shaped living is reflected in both his preaching and his writing. \nPastor Rob is the author of Confidently\, Cross-Culturally Courageous: Having Important Conversations in Context\, The Organized Shepherd: Holistic Data\, Doctrine\, and Diligence\, and The Valley Experience: Finding Victory in Life’s Lowest Moments. \nHe serves on the Board of Trustees for America’s Keswick and 628 Ministries\, and on the advisory boards for several church-planting networks. Pastor Rob lives in Northwest Ohio with his wife\, Rebecca. \n  \n  \n\n\nWorship Leaders: Keswick Grad Band\nThe Keswick Grad Band is the praise and worship band from America’s Keswick\, composed entirely of graduates from its addiction recovery programs.

SUMMARY:Memorial Day Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Kick-off our 2025 Summer Conference Season here at America’s Keswick!\nJoin us this weekend in remembering the men and women who sacrificed their lives and gave everything so we can have the freedoms we take for granted every day. \n  \n  \nSpeaker: Dr. Richard Blackaby\nRichard is the president of Blackaby Ministries International and lives in Atlanta\, Georgia. He travels internationally speaking on spiritual leadership\, spiritual awakening\, experiencing God\, and the Christian life\, and regularly ministers to Christian CEOs\, church leaders\, and families. Richard served as a senior pastor at Friendship Baptist Church in Winnipeg\, Canada\, and then as the president of the Canadian Baptist Seminary and College in Cochrane\, Canada\, for 13 years. He continues to serve as the seminary’s Chancellor. Richard has also written or co-authored more than 40 books. \n  \n  \nMusic & Worship by: Jeff & Sue Duffield\nAside from the fact that they have new life doing contemporary hymns and even the “Oldies”\, they have always been exceptional and creative artists. Since the early 70s\, while Jeff and Sue had major media venues of opportunity and exposure (PTL Club\, 700 Club\, 100 Hundred Huntley Street – Canada) they never strived for commercial success. Sue not only has an incredible vocal ability\, she also writes much of the material they perform.Jeff is a sought-after keyboardist\, playing\, producing\, and arranging for artists/ministries such as: Jimmy Fortune (of the Statler Brothers)\, Doug Oldham\, the Original Couriers\, Ben “Cooter” Jones of the Dukes of Hazzard\, Sammy Hall\, Dave Boyer\, Canton Junction\, and John Hagee Ministries. The choice to perform a more jazz\, soulful-influenced repertoire instead of mainstream gospel\, a more conservative direction\, proved to be their signature strength. The Duffields were performing this worship flavor a decade or more before it became popular.Their music is rich with many layers.

SUMMARY:Young at Heart
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nJoin us for our 2026 Summer Conference Season!\n  \nOur theme is “Dwell: Restored by the Shepherd” focusing on Psalm 23\, “… He restores my soul… My cup overflows…” \nDWELL: Restored by the Shepherd is an invitation to slow down and step into the quiet\, healing presence of our Lord. It’s not just about being led\, it’s about being known\, cared for\, and restored by the One who calls us His own. Like sheep in the Shepherd’s care\, we find rest not only for our bodies but for our souls. Even in the valleys\, we are never alone. His presence brings peace\, His voice brings comfort\, and His house is where we belong. The Shepherd calls us to stay close… to dwell with Him daily. The world may rush\, but the Shepherd restores. Come DWELL with us at America’s Keswick. Discover the rest your soul has been longing for\, where God speaks to hearts and transforms lives!\n\n  \n\nSpeaker: Dr. Roger Willmore\nRoger served as president of the Alabama Baptist Pastor’s Conference and two terms as president of the Alabama Baptist State Convention.He has written extensively for a number of Christian magazines and has contributed to the three volumes of America’s Keswick devotional books\, Real Victory for Real Life.He has been ministering at America’s Keswick each year since 1998. Roger currently serves as the Director of Missions for the Calhoun Baptist Association in Anniston\, AL. \n  \n  \nMusic & Worship by: \nJeff & Sue Duffield\nAside from the fact that they have new life doing contemporary hymns and even the “Oldies”\, they have always been exceptional and creative artists. Since the early 70s\, while Jeff and Sue had major media venues of opportunity and exposure (PTL Club\, 700 Club\, 100 Hundred Huntley Street – Canada) they never strived for commercial success. Sue not only has an incredible vocal ability\, she also writes much of the material they perform.Jeff is a sought-after keyboardist\, playing\, producing\, and arranging for artists/ministries such as: Jimmy Fortune (of the Statler Brothers)\, Doug Oldham\, the Original Couriers\, Ben “Cooter” Jones of the Dukes of Hazzard\, Sammy Hall\, Dave Boyer\, Canton Junction\, and John Hagee Ministries. The choice to perform a more jazz\, soulful-influenced repertoire instead of mainstream gospel\, a more conservative direction\, proved to be their signature strength. The Duffields were performing this worship flavor a decade or more before it became popular.Their music is rich with many layers. They are truly musicians’ musicians\, but most will say Jeff and Sue’s hearts are even bigger than their music. In their later years\, it’s become quite evident that their real joy is helping other artists and ministries. Their love for Jesus shines in everything they do. \n  \n  \nPricing:\nAll Rates are Per Person and include accommodations\, amenities\, *meals\, and all programs.\nEach individual guest is booked separately with a non-refundable\, non-transferable deposit of: adults: $75 each\, children: $25 each.

SUMMARY:Family Week #4
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nJoin us for our 2026 Summer Conference Season!\n  \nOur theme is “Dwell: Restored by the Shepherd” focusing on Psalm 23\, “… He restores my soul… My cup overflows…” \nDWELL: Restored by the Shepherd is an invitation to slow down and step into the quiet\, healing presence of our Lord. It’s not just about being led\, it’s about being known\, cared for\, and restored by the One who calls us His own. Like sheep in the Shepherd’s care\, we find rest not only for our bodies but for our souls. Even in the valleys\, we are never alone. His presence brings peace\, His voice brings comfort\, and His house is where we belong. The Shepherd calls us to stay close… to dwell with Him daily. The world may rush\, but the Shepherd restores. Come DWELL with us at America’s Keswick. Discover the rest your soul has been longing for\, where God speaks to hearts and transforms lives!\n\n  \n  \nSpeakers: Tucker Rodkey & Dr. Dave Edwards\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI agreed to go with my art teacher to Philly where we spent the afternoon painting large scale oil paintings that were modern retellings of biblical parables. The conversations flowed so naturally. That’s when the lightning bolt hit. WHAT IF WE USED ART TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL? When I was 18 I dropped out of college and began living out of my car\, traveling the East Coast of the US\, sharing the Gospel through speed painting on boardwalks\, street corners and churches. Two years later I launched Painting Freedom Ministries\, a Christian Arts non profit dedicated to spreading the Gospel through the art. Since launching Painting Freedom I have had the opportunity to travel all across the United States\, speaking at churches\, conferences\, schools\, outreaches\, festivals and even living room gatherings. \n  \n \nDavid describes himself as an “itinerant postmodern pastor.” For more than 20 years\, he has been sharing his unique brand of ministry to conferences\, churches\, colleges\, camps & concerts. He speaks more than 200 times each year to over 100\,000 people and has started 12 young adult weekly Bible Study groups. He has written 27 books published by 6 different publishers. \nAsa a speaker his unique style & energy make him an audience favorites. As an author he imparts practical wisdom and inspiration. Asa a consultant he accelerates the effectiveness of his clients. \nDavid is a graduate of Oklahoma City University. He was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Theology from Louisiana Christian University. He is Pastor of Discipleship at Church Project in The Woodlands\, TX; where he & his wife\, Caroline\, live. \n  \n  \n\nWorship: Brian & Elisabeth Borodin \nBrian and Elisabeth Borodin serve as worship leaders at Open Door Church in Howell\, New Jersey\, where Brian also serves as the Music & Youth Pastor. Together\, they are gifted musicians with a genuine heart for leading others into meaningful worship of our great and mighty God. Their blended worship style is both uplifting and engaging\, creating an environment where individuals and families alike can encounter the Lord. We’re confident you will be encouraged and blessed through their ministry. \n  \n  \n  \nWhat to expect this summer at America’s Keswick:\n\nMorning and evening sessions with our speakers\nWe will be having Children’s and Teen’s Ministry\nActivities for all ages! Such as guided nature walks\, scavenger hunts\, a large inflatable slide in the lake\, devotions\, and more!\nDelicious meals prepared on campus served in our dining room\n\n  \nChildren’s & Teen’s Ministry:\nIt’s not Sunday School… It’s not VBS… It’s Children’s Ministry – America’s Keswick style! One of our passions is to teach children from a young age who Jesus is\, why it is important to follow Him\, and how to apply biblical principles to their lives. We take the time to hand-pick fun and responsible leaders who are passionate about teaching YOUR kids. We get to know your children personally so we can teach them at a level that they can understand\, and we also have a whole lot of fun along the way. \nOn top of our biblical lessons\, we have high-energy games\, creative crafts\, delicious snacks\, funny skits\, and everything in between – all designed to follow and reinforce the lesson for the day. We also spend time preparing for our end-of-week presentation\, where you can hear your kids share a passage of Scripture that they’ve memorized and a song that they’ve learned while in Children’s Ministry… but be sure to get there early\, because before the meeting we also have a special bell-ringing ceremony where we celebrate the children who have come to Christ that week. \nOur Children’s Ministry curriculum welcomes infants through age 11\, and ages 12-17 can enjoy our Teen Ministry program. We’re going to have a lot of fun this summer\, and we hope you can join us. \n  \nMeals:\nEach meal starts with a staff member’s blessing in the food. When you enter the doors to the dining hall\, located in the Raws Building\, you will be greeted by the buffet line. Guests are able to grab a plate and choose from the variety of options that are available during the course. Most times there are 1-2 main entrée options with 2-3 sides dishes. During breakfast\, there is a cold bar that is fully stocked with assorted cereals\, milk\, yogurt\, and freshly cut fruit. During lunches and dinners\, we have a freshly prepared salad bar where guests can create their salad exactly to their choosing. Once guests find their seat at a table\,  our friendly servers will bring you beverages and help clear away your plates. You will also see our dining room hostess who is available to you at any time should you need any assistance.
