What does Woolman Hill look like?

"If you haven't seen the Journey Camp location, let me describe it through my eyes as a parent of a camper who's come for five happy years. The idyllic natural setting of the camp is absolutely spectacular.

"Campers love to sit under the enormous maple tree for stories after lunch. It's a breathtaking natural setting tucked into the hills which stretch out from the lawn of the Conference House across from Juanita Nelson's organic garden. The old trees and the paths into the woods make it feel like an unspoiled fairy glen. There are not enough superlatives to convey what a treat it is to be there."
