The theme for the weekend is “Coming Full Circle… Another Way.”

The leadership team includes Bruce Wilson as chaplain, and Aislyn Crane and Kristen Miller as event directors, Kaila Russell as basket weaver extraordinaire. 

“We all live busy lives that are constantly changing and moving at a fast pace,” said Bruce.  “Taking a break here at camp can help us reconnect to ourselves, each other and our faith.

“The annual Midwinter Retreat is designed to help us gather ‘around the fire’ and check-in with how we have been, how we want to be and what we need to live out our faith...Another Way,” he commented.

Registration opens Friday, Dec. 20

The subsidized rate is $165 per youth. The gratitude rate is $215 per youth. The rate selected is up to the family. The gratitude rate more accurately reflects the true cost of the event.

Check-in: 7 p.m. on Friday (Participants eat before they arrive.)

Check-out: 1 p.m. on Sunday (Lunch is served on Sunday.)
