This fall’s theme is re:Claim the Name. During the retreat, we will be naming, discussing, unpacking, and playing with words and phrases that are thrown about in Christianity. We will be encouraging the youth to define and develop personal understandings of these theological words and themes for themselves. At our Fall Retreats, we invite church youth groups to come together in order to help the local congregations solidify youth friendships at the start of the program year. As much as possible, we place youth groups in cabins together and program the weekend to allow for youth-group bonding and conversation time as well as large-group gatherings, free time, and evening events in which campers catch up with old friends and meet new ones. Any and all youth grades 6-12 are welcome. Scholarships are available, we never want finances to keep youth from enjoying the retreat. See Curt Preston for details.
