I started going to Shepherd's Spring as a young camper. Later I would serve on the summer staff as a counselor for 3 summers. Shepherd's Spring was part of my call training to ministry. It is a place of beauty, a place to escape and appreciate the wonder of God's creation from the Potomac River to the Cave near Dam #4 to the wooded trails. I highly recommend this organization for summer camping and also for quality retreat space for small or large gatherings.
