Books for Sale - D39

In 1951, an onsite bookstore began here at Arrowhead.  The bookstore has been a huge part of our history for over 60 years.  Arrowhead Parable Christian Store is now located in a beautiful 14,000 square foot facility in Johnson City, NY.

Thankscrafting - D40

Happy Thanksgiving!  We hope your day is full of family, friends, turkey and whatever "traditional dish" your family loves (and other families call weird).  As you head out early for a 5k turkey trot, sleep in til noon, play football in the back yard, watch the parade, share a feast together or take in a few football games... GIVE THANKS.

Here is a crafty Thanksgiving project that we used at our Shepherds Fall Retreat this year.  It is a great idea for kids... but if your family is anything like mine, it will lead to a epic challenge with everyone involved. 

Sponge paint fall colors on the tree to make leaves.  Then write down all the things you are thankful for.  You can write on the leaves, the tree trunk or in outline format justified on the left side of the page if you have a healthy touch of OCD like me.

One More Summer - D43

"Arrowhead was such an important part of my life. I still hold dear many of the friends that I met there and went on to get an SW degree to work with developmentally disabled adults because of my love of the work I did out at Arrowhead. Wish I could return and have just one more summer."

Without Boundaries - D45

Shepherds Camp has been a home away from home for our campers.  Unlike traditional camp programs that serve individuals during their high school and college years, our campers have the opportunity to attend Shepherds Camp into adulthood.  Many of our campers have been coming to Arrowhead for over 30 years.  Pictured below is our camp staff gathered around D., who is 92 years old.
