June 7-9, 2024
Come up for a day, or come up to stay! This is our weekend for building memories, connection, and enjoying creation.
If you are newer to Tree of Life Church, we especially invite you to come spend the weekend camping. So many connections are made while sitting around the campfire, biking, hiking, swimming, boating, or watching others play.
Cost is $10 per person/$30 per family
