SHALOM HILL FARM HERE WE COME





Shalom Hill Farm has wonderful play areas, lounging areas, game areas and hiking trails. We will have many planned activities such as relays, contests, scavenger hunt, and other entertainment. There will also be many not-so-planned activities such as card games, board games, picture browsing, outdoor games, conversation, eating, etc. What more could a Raatz Reunion goer want?
