Recently, I got to spend an amazing week at Kids Camp along with some amazing fellow counselors. It’s so inspiring to watch each person bring something different to the table that these kids need.

Have you ever wondered what 56,000 stuffed Easter eggs splayed out across a field looks like? Maybe not, but now you’re probably curious. Let me tell you, it is an amazing sight to behold. The eggs are bright and colorful, just waiting to be picked up and taken home. The field is sectioned off, so…
It’s that time of year again. Time to sign your kids up for one of the most exciting and enjoyable events Harvest has to offer—Harvest Kids Camp!
