This year will mark the 6th year that Ebenezer Ridges has made the trip up to Annandale, MN to Camp Friendship. The idea of going on a camp trip was inspired by a Care Center Resident in 2012 who often reminisced about the trips her family would take up to their cabin every year. Staff wanted to provide this experience again from her and for other Resident that lived on campus, so every August 45-75 staff and Residents haul their belonging and camp equipment up to Annandale, MN for either 3-days, 2-nights or a day trip. This year we were even able to offer Ridge Point independent living the opportunity to stay 4 days, 3 nights. The days up at the cabin are filled with pontoon rides, fishing, camp fire songs, s’mores, good food, games, crafts, and lots of laughter. This trip allows Residents to experience the north, a vacation, and nature one more time before the end of their journey. Read Maxine's Letter to hear about what this trip means to her. If you or someone you know would like to showcase your classic car, please contact Ann Schrempp, 952-212-3465  Inspired by the children's book "Only One You," written by Linda Kranz the residents, staff, children and family of Ebenezer Ridges campus got together today to hear this story full of life lessons and the celebration of the special individuals we all are. The story was told using props and characters by our beloved Chaplin Chris Beckman. Once we were all done hearing the story we each painted a rock to represent each of us, as there is truly, "Only One You."and when all the rocks are all painted we will be pull them all together to create a community pathway through our campus butterfly garden. The kids, Grandpas and Grandmas all had such a great time painting rocks together and listening to this wonderful story.
