Garaywa Camp and Conference Center Testimonies

I truly believe that Ms. Ed had some idea of how far reaching the ministry of camp would be when she envisioned it 60 years ago. I think that is why she worked so hard to gather the nails to build it.

- Kay Cassibry, wMu Executive Director

Garaywa will always have a place in my heart since that is where I accepted Christ to be my Lord and Savior. It brings me great comfort to know that the place where I accepted Christ at the age of 8 is still going strong and to this day is continuously playing huge roles in young girls’ lives. I love Camp Garaywa and I love what the Lord is doing there and with His people.

- Catherine Barber, Cabin Leader, 2007

“Camp Garaywa will always have a very special place in my heart for the Lord called me to international missions at a missions conference at Camp Garaywa in September, 1974.”

- Larry Cox, Vice President, International Mission Board

“Being at Camp Garaywa provided a meaningful way for girls to get acquainted with real-life missionaries. When I think of the camp, I just think of how many lives were changed with kids accepting Jesus. It’s a life-changing place. I feel like many of our missionaries today felt the call at GA or Acteens camp at Garaywa.”

- Trish Simmons, Retired missionary, former Garaywa camp director
