Northern Pines Camp & Retreat Center, Koronis Ministries Camp & Retreat Center, and Kowakan Adventures are the recent recipients of six beautifully handcrafted rocking chairs, two for each UMC campsite in Minnesota. Grace Swanson of Prior Lake MN presented the chairs to Keith Shew of Camp Minnesota on behalf of her late husband Dan, a master woodworker who created one-of-a-kind rockers, chairs, flag boxes, and pulling sleds. Thank you to Grace, Dan, and our Minnesota UMC family for helping make this generous gift possible. We love them!

We hope that you can join us at camp soon to sit and relax in one of the beautiful chairs.
