that God is doing here at the Bend! We have had a very good retreat season and especially in this economy, that is a true blessing! Thank you to all the churches, group leaders and retreat guests who have chosen to come to Riverbend. 
There is still time to come to camp!
Note: Riverbend campers will be wearing life jackets at all Waterfront Activities.
Along with a new 60' long tower, complete with awning for shade, the other new activity is the 100' "Flying Fox" Zip Line into the water. What a screamer that will be! Along with these, add the two blobs, two icebergs and a reconditioned swimming area with basketball goals and water volleyball and the Waterfront will definitely be the place to be for recreation time this summer!
