Thank you to Summit Point Church for volunteering at Camp Kearney during their Compassion Day. The volunteers scrubbed the pool, cleared weeds and trimmed back shrubs, cleaned out the kayaks, cleaned the pool changing rooms, and wiped off life jackets.

Because of their generosity, Camp Kearney is one step closer to being ready for the summer camping season!
