Join us for your favorite camp activities as well as a few special winter games and treats! Campers decorate cookies, carol around the camp fire, and build their own “snowmen.” We can’t promise snow – but we can guarantee it will be a good time!
Last year’s Winter Retreat theme – Light The Way – focused on the Advent Candles of love, hope, joy, and peace. Candles provide light and warmth and show us what is around us. Similarly, love, hope, joy, and peace provide us wisdom and guide us as we live out our faith in the world. As we prepared to celebrate the birth of Jesus, we also considered what the Advent season teaches us about right and faithful ways of living.
Right before Christmas, Winter Retreat is the perfect opportunity to get the kids out of the house for last-minute Christmas shopping or can be gifted as an early Christmas present to grandkids, nieces and nephews, and other younger family members or friends.
