“ This was the annual WCA San Diego Retreat. It was the 12th annual retreat and was the most well attended retreat thus far. Jen Bottoms was the organizer of the retreat and she did a superlative job. The workshops were great, some more challenging than others, but always fun. Camp Stevens is a WONDERFUL place to have a retreat. ”
