Teen and Young Teen Mini Retreats
"Life is not defined by the day-to-day chores and schedules," said a 19-year old. Retreat is an opportunity for teenagers to focus on what is really important during some of the most awkward and difficult years of life.

Teens and their leaders often want a
"get away" experience in their church life.
Besides guided periods of activities, there can be also times to go for walks on the grounds, walk the prayer labyrinth or just talk to one another near the falls in the outdoors. A time to spend relaxing and reflecting on the truths of Scriptures, the love of God and each other as well as the rest of the world.
