Proceeds from this great family event will help send local teen mothers and their babies to a weeklong YoungLife camp at TimberWolf Lodge near Lake Michigan this summer. Teen moms and babies will get an opportunity to relax, meet other teen moms from around the country, and most importantly, receive an opportunity to experience the love of Jesus.
