Winter Teen Retreats
[Registration]

We have nine weekends scheduled during the prime Michigan winter season
and they offer a terrific opportunity for outdoor recreation,
fellowship, evangelistic outreach and spiritual growth. Our
winterized facilities, forested grounds and recreation options
provide an ideal winter retreat location.
The program begins on Friday evening with winter outdoor activities,
then a Chapel session with the speaker. Saturday has a full schedule
of winter sports: tubing (featuring a rope-tow), cross-country skiing
(6 miles of trails), skating (one rink for hockey, one just for fun),
snowshoeing, snow football, broomball, ice fishing and a gameroom.
Saturday morning has a chapel session, and the day finishes with
Chapel followed by a group discussion time with your students. One
more Chapel session will be held Sunday morning.
Seven of the weekends allow you to bring Junior High and Senior High
youth as one combined group - the other two weekends house the groups
in separate facilities (our East Side and West Side camps).
Junior High: 6th, 7th, 8th, or 9th grades
Senior High: 9th, 10th, 11th, or 12th grades
Combined: 6th through 12th grade
If your staff desire to bring their own children, they must be camper-age.
All the pictures on this page are from past retreats.
Be sure and bring your camera so you can share your photos too!
Here are more photos from the
2007

2008
winter retreats.
