The Spice Girls’ Story: Stitching Together Memories

10/11/2024

1 Comment

 
For 30 years, the "Spice Girls" have loaded up their sewing machines and supplies to stay at Green Lake Bible Camp for a quilting retreat!  They come twice a year, for a total of 60 times, from all across the country!

They have accomplished countless projects, but enjoyed the time to rest too. Camp has served as a place to get away, where they can set their worries aside, spend time in sabbath and find peace in the comforting, encouraging presence of God. They have gathered as friends to share in life’s joyous and low moments. They have lost just a few members over the years, and miss them dearly, but really love coming here still.

And for all groups, this is more than just a chance to practice their hobbies. Sure, quilting retreats offer their guests a chance to share their tips and patterns, but they offer so much more.


Over the course of this year, Green Lake Bible Camp will host 18 quilting retreats with 11 different quilting groups. One might think that all quilting retreats are the same, but each group is unique. Some groups stay for three nights; some groups gather for four nights. Some groups prefer their tables set in pods of four, while others prefer their tables to be in rows. Some groups host show-and-tells, share devotional time, bring other crafting projects, and do puzzles for a break from quilting. One group plays “find-the-thimble” and have asked staff to help hide the thimble. Some groups prefer fresh popcorn during their late-night quilting sessions, while some bring their own snacks. Every group loves Karla’s famous quiche and caramel pull-apart rolls.

And we love hosting each and every group - each one is a blessing and we are honored to host their cherished time together.

To host your own quilting or any other kind of retreat you can dream of, give us a call at 320-796-2181, email us at [email protected]g or visit Retreats & Rental Spaces.
