5/13/2021 6 Comments LovedThe tagline of Diamond Willow Ministries is from Galatians 5:13, "Serving one another in love".
We desire that no matter when or for how long you came to be a part of Diamond Willow Ministries, you were able to feel loved. Because truly, you are. We are all loved, generously and sacrificially, by Jesus Christ. It feels impossible to capture 20 years of love and memories into a photo album, but below you will see some glimpses of just that. Thank you for how you are a part of our tiospaye (extended family). We invite you to comment down below, how many years ago were you at Diamond Willow? What did you do while you were here? If you don't live locally, where do you live? We'd love to hear from you! (Click on a picture to enlarge it, and feel free to comment down below.

Camp was always a time for many youth to enjoy time with kids their age, camp staff, and make memories while learning more about Jesus. Many memories were made at Cantemawaste Youth Camp: at the river, during family groups, winning "Camp Bucks", or dancing to fun music.
Do you have memories of Cantemawaste Youth Camps? What was your favorite part of coming out as a camper or camp staff? We'd love to hear from you; comment below!

Do you remember Fluffy, Eeyore, orer, Jake, or the amazing Curly Horses (like Mato, Curly Bear, Dancer, Star, Tate, & Red Cloud)?

Truly "Ikce Oyate" (common people).

This bunkhouse has held many many sleeping work groups and campers. A long-standing tradition over the years has been to sign the boards/ walls after your stay.
