On Friday, Aug. 12, Camp Carefree co-founder Anne Jones died. She was at home, surrounded by family, and just steps away from her enduring gift. Our camp family has heavy hearts, but we are warmed by the beauty she left behind and the knowledge that this special women touched the lives of thousands of families.

Services will be Saturday, 8/20, at Stokesdale United Methodist Church.
