My youth and adult groups have used LWCC since 2009. The employees from every department have been consistently top-notch—welcoming, efficient, and friendly.

Leader

Youth Bridge Education Organization

I would love to praise everyone on staff. The camp had so many groups and students on campus, and staff was attentive, friendly, and didn't seem frazzled at all. The kitchen staff was great. The coffee maker was not working one morning, and they fixed it quickly!

Leader

The Lutheran Church of Webster Gardens

The Eagle Crest Adventures activities were great. I got to see a lot of students come out of their shells and eagerly want to work together to accomplish the courses!

Leader

Canaan Baptist Church

We couldn't be happier with LWCC, and we strive to keep a positive relationship with you to be able to use your settings for years to come.

Leader

Sacred Heart Griffin

Guest Services were around for everything we needed and were EXTREMELY helpful. Very courteous. The grounds staff were EXTREMELY helpful in loading and unloading the heavy statues.

Leader

Springfield Diocesan Council of Catholic Women

Everyone was wonderful! The lifeguards were helpful and flexible with our group. The staff at the front desk was very attentive, helpful and flexible.

Leader

Lutheran High School

Mark did a fantastic job at serving our group. He would look for whatever object we needed to borrow, and he was so attentive and helpful when needed. I thought he did a great job and definitely deserves recognition for his hard work!

Leader

Coram Deo Church

The housekeeping staff member, when we were checking out, was very helpful with getting the keys picked up.. I also saw her throughout the week and she always had a smile and was very helpful with anything that was needed.

Guest

Ascend Student Convention

I finally got to meet Deanna who has always been so great behind the scenes! She is so helpful! The check-in staff and the man I worked with when we were leaving were also great! Everyone is always so positive, and the men who cooked for us were great, too!

Leader

SLU Career Services

Several staff, counselors, and students praised Adam from Eagle Crest Adventures for his understanding, patience, and encouragement.

Leader

Orchard Farm Elementary

My youth and adult groups have used LWCC since 2009. The employees from every department have been consistently top-notch...welcoming, efficient, friendly, etc.

Leader

Youth Bridge Education

Each of your staff members went above and beyond for us. If we asked for an item, they found a way to provide it.

Leader

Caring for the Hearts International

The young man who worked the desk each night was so very helpful. I feel like he said yes to anything possible. Super friendly and really made our time there better.

Leader

Sherwood Oaks Church

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 attending 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.

Leader

The Crossing Church

Everyone, from the day shift to the night shift and the cooking staff, you are always so good to our school. THANK YOU!

Leader

Sacred Heart Griffin High School

Justin was extremely helpful at check-in. Additionally, our worship pastor had a question about the backdrop used at a previous event. Justin took us in to show us how they set it up and answered questions about it. A huge help. We are thankful to be able to host our staff and board retreat at LWCC. Our district is blessed by this being an option for churches.

Pastoral Staff

Crossroots Church

Everyone who did the [Eagle Crest Adventures] ropes course absolutely loved it. Even the ones I had encouraged to just look at it and see. Both Adam and Jess went above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable.
