Good Friends, Good Food and Good Quilting!

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

I know what you’re thinking… Quilting and Camp don’t go together!  Well, they sure did last weekend.  We were lucky enough to be host to a group of outstanding ladies who come together at Matawa every March for a quilting retreat.  They travel from all over Wisconsin and Northern Illinois for this great weekend.  Although quilting was the first and last thing on everyone’s mind, there was still plenty of time for other fun activities.  The ladies enjoyed some tasty meals and snacks, energizing hikes, informative presentations and most importantly, fellowship with other women.  They even had a massage therapist out to Camp to soothe their tired, sewing muscles.  At the end of the four day retreat, the generosity of “The Quilters” was apparent.  They made a $300 donation to our Strong Kids Campaign and are all working together to make a quilt for our Strong Kids Raffle this summer.  It is sure to be beautiful!  We are so thankful for their continued kindness and support of Camp Matawa.
