Sep 11-13, 2009; Sep 18-20, 2009; Sep 25-27, 2009; Oct 2-4, 2009

Bring some friends, or come by yourself. Choose from a whole lineup of activities on our 350 acres — or just enjoy not doing anything. Sometimes it's so quiet in northern Michigan you can almost hear yourself smile. Sometimes the laughter in your group leaves your sides hurting.

Kayaking, Canoeing, Paddle-Boating, and guided Pontoon Boat Tours on beautiful Shear Lake.

Hayride through Huron National Forest

A canoe trip down the historic AuSable River (additional fee).

Moutain Biking, Volleyball, Riflery, Archery, and Horizontal Bouldering Wall.

Nature Exploration around the lake.

Handcrafts (per project fee)

The retreat will begin Friday evening and continue unhurried through the Sunday noon meal. Four chapel sessions are planned with the goal of presenting Jesus Christ as Creator, owner-of-all, and Savior.

2009 Chapel Speakers:

1) September 11-13 Donna Shinn, Donna is from Plymouth Michigan. She is mother to two adult children (one daughter, one son), a pastor’s wife (Calvary of Canton), piano teacher, MOPS mentor, and long-time favorite speaker here at Barakel. She is a solid Bible teacher, with good illustrations, and a clear eye for practical application

2) September 18-20 Ellen Johnson.

3) September 25-27 Lois VanWageningen, Lois comes to us from Brooksville FL. She loves the Lord and has a passion to teach His Word to women.

4) October 2-4 Rosalie DeRosset

The fee is $105 for the weekend.

The event is for high-school seniors or older (even way older). If you come as a group, we will attempt to house you together.
