Karen Steelhammer announces her retirement.

At Pilgrim Lodge this past summer, we implemented the use of Restorative Practices. For the purpose of camp, we defined Restorative Practices as: a framework for community building, tending, and community repair. The shape that took at camp was primarily in the form of talking circles.

One of our Camp Values is “Love of Creation.” This summer, we are excited to deepen our commitment to our Love of Creation through camp and fellowship opportunities!
