You are here to encounter the Holy
You are here to learn to love yourself
You are here to learn to love others
You are here even when you are home

 

 

All high school and middle school-aged youth are invited for a fun weekend at Stronghold Camp where you will be able to laugh, play games, sing & worship, try the Challenge Course, explore (the castle! the woods! your faith!), help with a mission project, and more.

Whether you come from a church where you are “the teen” or where there is a youth group – come! You don’t have to be part of a group to attend – there will be plenty of opportunities to engage and make new friends. Age-appropriate groupings will be used whenever possible.

COST
$125 / person – youth or adult leader. We are asking each church sending people to help defray these costs if possible.

DETAILS
Registration begins at 7 pm Friday night. Bring your favorite snacks to share with the group. We’ll supply the S’mores! Four meals are provided in the Brubaker Dining Hall – Saturday breakfast, lunch, dinner and Sunday breakfast. The retreat will end after Sunday worship around noon. Sunday lunch is on your own on your way home. Two nights lodging in the Castle is included.

MISSION PROJECT
Again this year we will be assembling “Blessing Bags” – essential items to distribute to those experiencing homelessness as the weather turns colder. We will let you know how you can contribute items like socks, packets of tissues, snacks etc.

WHAT TO BRING
Sleeping bag & pillow
Jackets, clothes to be outdoors in, closed-toed shoes, (dress for the weather!)
Clothes to play field games in
Bible and notepad
Snacks to share
Items for the Blessing Bags – we’ll let you know what we’d like you to bring
