Q & A
As we come to our seventh year of planning this retreat we realize the great and pressing need to reach out to children and youth.
Our retreat is truly two retreats in one:
The Children's Retreat: for children who have completed 1st grade and turned 7 through 6th Grade.
The youth Retreat: for students from 7th grade to 11th grade.
This year we have extended the youth portion of the retreat to reach up to 11th grade students to fill the need of many high school students to join the life changing experience during the summer.
How old does my child have to be?
How will kids get to camp?
Can my child invite a friend?
What will my child eat?
What If my child gets hurt or gets sick?
How can I contact my child?
What does my child need to bring?
