Can you help Save the Oaks Camp and Retreat Center?

Oasis Ministry Ventures is working to Save the Oaks Camp and Retreat Center. I fell in love with the camp and conference center when I toured it over 10 years ago. I placed a picture of the conference building on my vision board in the office as the prototype for a retreat center that I would like to build. That voice in my head told me it was way too expensive, it wasn't possible. However, I've been doing dream building this past year -- and I asked myself what could I do to move forward on my dream. The answer came to me during meditation. Call the camp. I went to contact them only to discover that the camp is closed and being sold! So I did some detective work and reconnected to the people I knew there. They are in the midst of a campaign to Save the Oaks! So I jumped on board. This call is part of pulling together the people and organizations who know the value of the Camp to help get more people involved. The Oaks has a long history of providing retreat experiences for inner city youth who have never had the opportunity to do this. It has over 800 acres of land to explore on walks, zip lines, music buildings, conference center, cafeteria, child care center, and the list goes on. It has been fiscally sound, but the corporation that owned them shifted gears and wants to spin the Oaks off. We have the chance to make a difference, to get the word out and find people who are passionate about sacred spaces and the value of retreats. Join us to Save the Oaks!
