Retreat Description
The goal of our youth retreat this year is to invite students toward greater depth in their faith and relationships with each other. We believe shared experiences help build strong relationships, and strong relationships fuel spiritual change. The weekend will take place at Camp Bennett, with a couple excursions off-site for fun activities. While at the camp, our sessions will be led by guest speaker, James Walker, who will engage youth in discussion about the book of Ruth. Youth will become aware of the depth of Ruth’s relationship with Naomi (and later Boaz and God) and the mutual impact God brought to the community through deepening relationships. We are stronger together. We are stronger for God together.

Chaperones. All of our adult chaperones will be background checked and approved through our Family Ministry child protection training.

Adult chaperones on youth retreats are typically volunteers from our youth ministry already and are high caliber individuals.

Meals, Meds, and Allergies
Meals. Meals include Friday dinner, Saturday breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and Sunday breakfast. These will most likely be prepared on-site at the camp kitchen. If so, this will happen through a person certified in food safety.
Food allergies. Please inform us in writing of any food allergies well in advance of the retreat. Allergy needs will be reviewed so that we can determine how best to meet dietary needs of all participants in consultation with parents.
Medications. All medications – including over the counter medications – must be given to a designated chaperone at check-in on Friday. To maintain safety, youth cannot be in control of their medications. When turning these in, please be sure to place meds in clearly labeled containers inside a zip-top bag. Include student name and listing of medication and dosing frequency.
Other allergies. If a youth has any allergies, please make us aware of them in writing. Youth who need emergency items, such as epi-pens or inhalers, will be allowed to carry those with them, but they will need to be responsible for them.

Behavioral expectations
We plan to have a fun, dynamic weekend! To ensure this, all participants need to come with a teachable spirit and a positive attitude. Adult chaperones will be encouraging and positive as well. There will be some basic rules to follow, including a rule to show respect to all others, elevate group needs above personal wants, and coming to adults when conflict arises. If any participant chooses to continually violate the rules, it may result in dismissal from the retreat. We cannot provide refunds in this instance.
Questions
Feel free to contact Kevin Freeman if you have any questions.
We are looking forward to an exciting retreat!
