Celebrate Christmas, Paint, and Make a Difference

Join us for a joyful Starry Manger Paint Party at Williamsburg Christian Retreat Center in Toano, VA! This festive holiday event invites families, friends, and community members to paint a beautiful starry nativity scene step-by-step, guided by an instructor. No artistic experience is required — every canvas comes pre-sketched so you can create a masterpiece with confidence.

As you paint, you’ll be part of a special fundraiser supporting WCRC camperships, helping provide summer camp opportunities for families in need. Every ticket sold directly supports campers, allowing children to experience faith-filled, Christ-centered programming each summer. Your participation ensures that WCRC can continue offering meaningful, affordable camp experiences to every child.

Why You’ll Love the Starry Manger Paint Party

• Fun for all ages — bring family, friends, or come solo!
• Step-by-step instruction to guide you through painting your starry nativity scene.
• Light snacks and refreshments included to enjoy while you paint.
• Holiday keepsake — a beautiful piece of Christmas décor or a thoughtful gift.
• Support a great cause — 100% of ticket sales ($40 per person) go to fund camperships.

A Christmas Celebration in a Peaceful Setting
