Fall Youth Retreat is upon us!
A retreat for middle-school and high school children
Fall in central New York means a lot of things… beautiful foliage, the beginning of the school year, and of course, Vanderkamp’s Fall Retreat!
From October 19th-21st, children in grades 6-10(we are flexible on this in situations where kids from the same youth group want to come, or siblings, etc – just call if you have any concerns) will be invited to come to our retreat center for a weekend of fun and faith. The theme for this year’s retreat is “Inner Peace,” and we’ll focus on answering one very important question:
How can we find Christ’s Peace in our hearts in a world that constantly wants to take it from us?
We’ll be discussing strategies for dealing with high expectations placed on us by others, working on ways to improve our self-esteem, and tactics for quieting our minds when things are getting chaotic.
We will be expanding on things learned on Mondays during our summer camp program, so this won’t be a repeat of our summer curriculum!
Rain, Snow, or Cold - We are going Ga Ga!
We’d love if anyone comes out to join us – from whole youth groups, to individuals who want to get a little taste of what a weekend of summer camp might look like. Adults who would like to participate in the retreat are welcome as well – so don’t hesitate to be in touch if you have any interest in coming up whatsoever.
At $99 for the weekend (including meals, lodging, and fun), it’s going to be tough to find a better way to spend your time.
Registration is limited to just 40 people due to limited housing, so please don’t wait – call or register online today!
