We had a great summer of faith adventures, outdoor fun, community life, and new discoveries!  The summer was all about "Justice!" and will lead us to amazing surprises and adventures!   It's about living justly and sharing God's love with everyone and everything around us.  Thank you for joining us to witness God’s love, mercy, and justice in action!  more

Fall Festival & Quilt Auction
Ewalu was blessed with good weather, a fantastic turnout, and eager bidders at this year's Fall Festival.  The day began with a ground breaking ceremony and worship service near the Walnut cabins.   Donations from the Quilt Auction totalled over $35,000 with matching funds included.  Thank you to all who donated gifts, bids, quilts, time, and labor to a successful day!   View this year's quilts online at the Quilt Gallery and

Seeds of Hope
 
Ewalu campers and staff supported the Foods Resource Bank again this year. FRB is an organization that helps hungry people feed themselves.   EWALU set aside a 16 acre plot of land for this year's project.  Campers, parents, and staff donted a total of $2,346 towards the project.  More gifts were given from the local community... more
