Testimonials

"This was the 4th year we've held our HARC Hike event at Shepherd's Spring and we've always had a great experience. The staff are friendly and accommodating and go out of their way to make sure all of our needs are met and then some. We are grateful to be working with such a great group of people and mutually supporting one another in our ministries."
