This is our second year doing Eagle Crest High Ropes. Adam and his staff do a great job at leading the kids through the course and keeping them engaged, excited, and challenged.

The Lutheran Church of Webster Gardens

Honestly, the entire staff went above and beyond. Unfortunately, I don't think I got any of their names. But, truly, the entire staff was exceptional.


Leader

Bethel Assembly of God

We really appreciate all of Lake Williamson's staff; we are always so blessed with employees who go above and beyond for us! We cannot think of anyone who wasn't attentive to all of our needs the weekend we were there. Justin has been and continues to be super helpful with our production team and is always helpful with everything we need. Deanna is always super attentive and easy to work with.
