“This weekend our group bonded with one another. It was nice to see them compete against each other and grow closer to God and one another at the same time. Some students rededicated their lives to God and others realized their need to grow closer. Camp gets students away from the distractions that normally occupy their time and provided an environment where they can enjoy God’s creation.” (a leader of two weekend retreats, one for Jr. High and one for Sr. High)
“We had a good time getting to know each other better. The weather was so perfect and of course the food was excellent. (How many cinnamon rolls can you eat in two days?) Camp Mantowagan was such a blessing. It’s always nice to know that it will be in tip-top shape when we arrive. Thanks so much for your ministry there.” (a leader of a church family retreat…if you have been around Camp for long, you know who made those cinnamon rolls!)
The retreat season is in full swing and people of all ages are taking advantage of the opportunity to get away and build relationships with others and God. Want to experience that for yourself? Find out if your church has a retreat. If they don’t, maybe they should! Perhaps you should be the catalyst that makes it happen. Talk to your Sunday school or ABF, small group, or youth group, maybe they’ll be in
