Devils Den Family Camping 0 comments

This weekend is our annual Devil's Den Family Camping Trip in West Fork.
We will camp Friday night and Saturday night and have activities planned throughout the day on Saturday. Get ready for a fun weekend of camping, s’mores, hiking, spelunking, a kickball tournament, playing in the creek, and swimming in the pool.

The families who went last year had a blast, so you won't want to miss out on the fun! Overnight Providence camping reservations are full, but you may still join us for day time activities.

Blueberries, And More Blueberries! 1 comments


What a great time we all had picking blueberries. Thank you so much to the Wallace family for inviting Providence to their farm. If you were not able to attend, we highly recommend going!
Here is a great recipe submitted by Patriot Mom, Denise Box
Blueberry Muffins

1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 beaten egg
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup cooking oil
3/4 cups blueberries

In a mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Make a well in the center. Combine egg, milk, and oil; add all at once to flour mixture. Stir just till moistened (batter should be lumpy). Carefully fold in blueberries. Lightly grease muffin cups or line with paper bake cups; fill 2/3 full. Bake in a 400 degree oven about 20 minutes or till golden. Remove from pans; serve warm with butter. Makes 10 to 12.
Enjoy!

Join us tomorrow, Wednesday June 17, for Blueberry Picking at Blue Heaven Farm in Goshen at 9 a.m.

Bring a drink and some sunscreen for some berry pickin’ fun!

Blue Heaven Farm is owned by Marlin and Lisa Wallace, parents of Providence 3rd grader Leah Wallace! They are giving us a special price of $8/gallon ($4 for half of a gallon). They will also provide gallon buckets and bags for bringing your blueberries home. (You may want to bring smaller buckets for little ones.)
Directions: From Fayetteville, take Hwy 45 east about 6 miles. Turn right on Tuttle Road. Travel 3.5 miles until you see the signs and farm on the right side of the road.

We hope to see you there!
