There will be Bible study, children’s activities, challenge courses, crafts, hiking, a hayride/sing-along, campfire with worship AND s’mores… and more… and more. We have reserved 15 rooms in the Conference Center. Five delicious meals are included in the retreat. The rates are $207 for single occupancy, $161 per person for two persons in a room, $131 per person for three persons in a room, children 5-12 $76, children under five are free. Each room requires a $50 deposit. “Camperships” are available – contact Pastor David.
