Weekend of Spiritual Emphasis Join Wisconsin Academy on April 11th and 12th for a Weekend of Spiritual Emphasis, featuring guest speaker Carl Wilkens.

If you love kids and don't mind a bit of chaos, consider playing the piano in the beginners' classroom at Camp Meeting. Payment (in dollars) is minimal, but payment (in sweet smiles and giggles) is enormous. Songs are simple to learn; we have some flexibility on what songs we choose, and I can provide you with a songbook for practice ahead of time if you wish. Currently, we have enough helpers, just need a pianist. If you are interested, contact Kristin at (608-217-1528) for more details.
