About the provider

The program’s mission is to inspire and enrich people of all ages through fellowship, learning, and fun in a welcoming Christian environment. Its history states that in 1918 the National Board of Sunday Schools of the Evangelical Synod of North America searched for a site for an Eastern Summer Leadership Training School, and on March 1, 1922 they acquired the 110-acre Smith farm on the shores of Lake Erie.
