Last Minute Tips for the Fall Retreat

Posted By: Patrick GreerPosted On:

I hope you are looking forward to this weekend. It’s going to be a great time. You are going to learn a lot and have a blast.  Below are a few last minute reminders and some veteran tips for those new to the Fall Retreat!

A few last minute reminders:

  • Check-in/Departure is at 4:30pm.  We’re leaving a little earlier so we can eat dinner at camp.
  • Linen’s are NOT provided.  Don’t forget your sleeping bag and pillow!
  • Be sure to look over the packing list. You need everything on there except maybe the sunscreen.

Here are a few veteran tips for the Thirst Fall Retreat

  • Bring a flashlight (preferably a headlamp) – Our cabins do NOT have electricity so you’re going to want a good light.  The best type of light is a headlamp, that frees up both of your hands while you’re getting yourself settled.
  • Bring a water bottle – Fill up the water bottle with water or Gatorade during breakfast and lunch.  Then you have something to drink anytime you want.
  • Bring gloves, sock hat, warm stuff – It’s going to be cold at night. You’ll like having your warm stuff on when you leave the fire and go back to your cold bed.
  • Bring an extra pair of shoes – It’s probably going to be a little muddy and you might like a fresh pair of kicks to wear back at the cabin.

These retreats have the potential to literally change your life. Maximize what God can do by coming with a great attitude, ready to learn, and excited about meeting with God.

THIRST – RESONATE FALL RETREAT 2017

Posted By: Patrick GreerPosted On:

THIRST is the Resonate Fall Retreat for students who have a THIRST for God’s Word.  This event is for anyone who wants to grow in their walk with the Lord and gain real leadership experience. With a special emphasis on leadership, this is an event you don’t want to miss.

This year we’ll be working with LeaderTreks as we go through their program called “Team Up.” Team Up is a three day retreat designed to mold students into a unified team. The goal is to teach the building blocks of great teams through an interactive, hands-on approach. The LeaderTreks staff will use a variety of interactive games and initiatives as well as small group discussion to emphasize each building block. Students will have the opportunity to take a Team Role assessment to discover how they operate inside teams. In the end, you will leave the event energized and focused on being unified.

THIRST is the Resonate Fall Retreat for students who have a THIRST for God’s Word.  This event is not for everyone, only those who are serious about becoming more like Christ.  We will be studying from God’s Word individually and as a group each day.

Our guest teacher will be Chris Campbell from Generation Freedom. This will be the 3rd time Chris has joined us for THIRST. Chris is the founder of Generation Freedom and has over two decades of youth ministry experience and is currently involved in taking the message of freedom beyond the local church into some of the most marginalized spaces of teen culture in the United States.
