Programs described in its return (2)
- $191,046 spent. In 2025, Ingalls Creek Enrichment Center (ICEC) served 1,462 people and 63 separate guest groups, not including programs of our own which are listed in 4b. Of guest groups served, 544 guests participated in single-day events, and 918 stayed overnight for multi-day events. The total number of bed nights was 2,236. Day and overnight use included restorative gatherings for families, a wide variety of church and non-profit groups from throughout the region, school groups, family reunions, and small retreats. First time guests expressed delight with the facilities and the hospitality by staff, and returning groups expressed gratitude for recent site and facility improvements.
- $134,659 spent. Part III 4b. Ingalls Creeks Center for Faith, Calling, and Community (CFCC) offered 19 distinct programs serving 334 people in 2025. Programs included Life Stage Retreats (Aging Well and Living Well), a special event Taste & See, a spring Mens Retreat, and Space for God Retreat, our popular summer Day Camp for kids in grades 2-6, and reintroduction of our Cool Beans Day Camp for kids age 4-7. We experimented with online events for Aging Well in January, February, and March. We also held another successful Memorial Day Work Weekend. The Pastors Wellness Retreat and Womens Retreat planned for October 2025 were both cancelled due to fire danger, smoke, and temporary site evacuation. A smaller Pastors wellness event took place online, and a smaller Womens event took place offsite in Cashmere. Moving forward, program staff are exploring new approaches to developing programs in line with ICECs freshly articulated mission, vision, and core values that will engage wider participation. More than 1,500 additional people were impacted through Ingalls Creeks 10th REACH Summer Fellowship Program serving non-profit organizations in the Wenatchee Valley.
