Special Children & Youth Activities
Each session will include singing and a children’s message. After each time, infants will go to the nursery area in the Oak Fireside Room. All 4 yrs - Jr. High will go with designated group leaders. All Sr. High Youth will help with children’s ministry or be with Tom for group times.
 
Parents
Children ministry leaders are not baby sitters for the weekend. They are responsible for your children only during the designated times. Please respect the pick up times announced and make agreements with your own children for the weekend.
 
Swimming Pool
The pool will be open at various times throughout the weekend. Please respect all pool rules set by the lifeguard.
 
Help Out
Sign up for various tasks that need to be completed throughout the weekend. Sign ups for meal helpers and nursery care will be taken at the retreat.
 
Have a Great Time
The retreat committee is hopeful that all who have participated will go away with some new friendships, renewed faith, and new insights to our lives as Christians.
