Communication while at camp
The best experience would be for you to unplug! That means, turn off your phone when you get there. We strongly recommend this! In case of emergencies family members can text Jamie at 904.540.6457 or Anthony at 904.814.4602. (For this reason, a watch is very handy!)
Preparation:
Read or listen to the book “Wild at Heart” by John Eldredge. You can find it online or check it out at the library. I use the Hoopla app on my phone which allows me to check out audiobooks and ebooks from our local library using my library card. Wild at Heart is available through that. Free! Another option is the new Wild At Heart documentary on YouTube (Available Oct 11, 2024)
Prepare to unplug! Coordinate your personal and professional life so that you can turn off technology in order to intentionally give your soul a chance to be refreshed.
If you would like to bring a group or would like for us to do a private retreat for your group, reach out and let us know.
