There’s something pretty magical about this place at night. 🌙✨

The Retreats Lodge all lit up, with that incredible moon shining through the clouds—a little reminder to slow down and take in the beauty around us.

Feeling grateful for this place and the moments that happen here. ❤️

Yesterday, Shepherd’s Spring was proud to be part of the Michael G. Callas Memorial New Educators Reception, welcoming more than 200 new Washington County Public Schools educators to our community!

Melissa, Director of the Global Village, and Shepherd’s Spring Board Member Sarah had the opportunity to connect with new educators, share about the Global Village, and introduce them to the hands-on learning experiences available at Shepherd’s Spring.

The Global Village is a unique opportunity for students to explore different cultures, traditions, and parts of the world right here at Shepherd’s Spring. 🌎

The Global Village is available for schools, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, youth groups, and adult team-building experiences. We’d love to show you around and explore how the Village could work for your group!

📧 Contact Melissa at [email protected] or call 301-223-8193 to schedule a visit or learn more.

Thank you to the Greater Hagerstown Committee and Washington County Chamber of Commerce for bringing our community together to welcome these new educators! 🌿
