April Golden, age 38, went home to be with the LORD December 4, 2015 after a brief illness. She is survived by her Dad and Mom, brother, sister, brother-in-law, grandmothers, aunts, uncle, cousins, nephew, nieces, and Camp Wabanna family. She had thousands of friends around the country and world.

April earned her degree in video production & youth ministry from Liberty University. She has served at Camp Wabanna in Edgewater, MD as a faithful staff member for more than 16 years, most recently as Director of Communications. She touched many young lives with the Gospel of Christ and shared her testimony through her Christian life. She was also active in the Women’s Ministry at Bay Area Community Church in Annapolis, MD.

Two organizations were dear to April’s heart: Camp Wabanna and Morning Star Foundation. Children, including orphans in China, were her focus. Her interests kept her busy. She loved working with kids at camp, pulling them through the river on the banana boats, challenging them on the confidence course, encouraging them to come to Christ and compelling them to serve Him. Photography, the beach, being outdoors, travel, hiking, TV binge watching, and getting together with family and friends were all activities she enjoyed. This past spring she was able to fulfill a life-long dream of going to China to visit her friend at Morning Star Project. The Foundation exists to help abandoned and needy children with complex heart defects. She especially bonded with little Molly. April will be truly missed by all who knew her.
