This camp will be a practical application of our faith taking time to pamper your body and learning how to take better care of it through things like meditation, aroma therapy, body prayer, Reiki meditation, massage therapy, to name a few.

Camper can come for full week or can opt for a half week, either Sunday through Wednesday, or Wednesday through Saturday. Call Hartman Center for details.
