Fellowship Place Day Trip to Camp CONNRI
CONNRI Lodge, an adult retreat center operated by the Salvation Army, welcomed twenty members of Fellowship Place for a wonderful day of summer fun. The trip was underwritten by the Birgitta Johnson Campership Fund. Given the challenges of the past year, this day away from the city was a welcome respite for Fellowship’s clients. All who attended were fully vaccinated, and the CONNRI staff made certain safety precautions were in place. Special thanks to the Salvation Army and donors to the Campership Fund for making the trip possible.
Greetings from Camp CONNRI
Members of the Fellowship Place community enjoyed a wonderful vacation last week at Camp CONNRI, a vacation and retreat center sponsored by the Salvation Army. Activities ranged from boating & swimming to making S’mores around the fire pit. Our annual trip to Camp CONNRI provides our clients a welcome respite from urban life and a chance to try new things like shuffleboard and archery. Special thanks to supporters of the Birgitta Johnson Campership fund for donations to cover some of the costs associated with the trip and to the Salvation Army for their warm hospitality.
