Healing Land by the Bay

1 site · Tent1 acre · Shady Side, MD

This is land our family land purchased to build a healing retreat center. We have had multiple family members pass from cancer and many currently suffer from hypertension, high blood pressure, & high cholesterol. We believe nature, water, fishing and peace of mind are the keys to unlock the healing we have already been given, but may be too busy to receive. This is a place to slow down. One day we will raise our goal to build the healing retreat center but while we are raising funds we want to share this land blessing with other families. We camped here and fish all day and fellowship and hope you create memories here. This land has been prayed over and we hope it brings your family peace and healing during your stay.
