“In my 30+ years of taking campers to Lake Ann, I have seen hundreds of lives changed, including my own and my kids’. I’ve seen decisions like salvation, choosing to follow Christ no matter what happens, making better choices about what friends to spend time with, and even some to not take their life. God moves at Lake Ann like no other place I’ve ever been.”
