Thank You!


As the leaves begin to change and summer is behind us, we find ourselves reflecting on the beautiful community that makes Silver Lake so special - especially during the Summer months.

To our volunteers, nurses, staff, deans, and counselors THANK YOU. Thank you for the time you gave, the care you shared, the community you created, and the incredible spirit you bring to camp and to every child. Silver Lake has always been more than a place. It is a feeling, a community, a collection of traditions. It is the laughter, the smiles, the music, the art, and understanding that God is at the center of it all.

As we re-imagine what Silver Lake can become, our hope is that YOU will continue to be part of its story. We hope you will inspire us to dream bigger, do more, and carry the traditions we love into new chapters. May we find ways to gather, dream, and build something meaningful together.

May this Autumn bring you happy moments to pause, reflect, and remember the magic you helped create this summer.

On behalf of the Friends of Silver Lake, with heartfelt gratitude, and so much love for our Silver Lake Family, THANK YOU!

With love,
​Friends of Silver Lake
