2007 Fall Retreat - Freedom In Christ

Friday October 26th through Sunday October 28th are the dates for the 2007 Fall Retreat at Camp Wyoming!! It is going to be a weekend to remember! We have several special speakers and some other Youth Groups as well. We will have some awesome bands, a great message and some great activities planned. We are really looking forward to spending the weekend together again.

Where is Camp Wyoming?
Most of you have either been to Camp Wyoming or know where it is. For those of you who do not, Camp Wyoming is located in Wyoming, IA (approx. 20 miles east of Anamosa). Click here for online directions. It is a very modern campground with kitchens, cabins with cots, heat, and indoor plumbing (yes, that means bathrooms and showers). Overall, it’s one of the nicer campgrounds in the area (click here for pictures).

When are we leaving? Where do we leave from? What time? When are we coming home?
Drop off will be on Friday, October 26th at Camp Wyoming between 4 and 7 PM. Pick-up will be on Sunday, October 28th between 1 and 2 PM at Camp Wyoming. If you need a ride or are interested in carpooling/driving please contact the church office by Sunday October 6th. This can be done either by phone at 363-0067 or by sending an e-mail. We will be working with the parents on setting this up.

What are we going to do?
We are going to have a great time and enjoy the FELLOWSHIP; the retreat staff is excited and ready for this awesome weekend. So you better be too. My hope is that everyone in middle and high school can attend.
