Eagle's Nest Opens!
 
Two years after ground breaking and one year after the incredible Barn Raising weekend, Eagle's Nest opened for ministry when 200 Mother-Daughter guests packed the pavilion for their adventure lunch on April 30. What fun! Join us for the Dedication Ceremony on Tuesday, May 17 at 1:30 PM! 

Built for $300,000 and worth much more, Eagle's Nest will unlock the North 40 as a (1) "Welcome Center" for RV and Eagle Ridge guests, (2) "Command Central" for program events on the gorgeous North 40 ballfield, and (3) "Community Treasure" for special occasions.
