“We cannot always build the future of our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.” – Theodore Roosevelt<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What is the purpose of a youth retreat? There are many ways to answer this question. For me, the three best reasons are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To give your students and leaders a chance to spend meaningful, and purposeful time together.<\/li>\n
  2. To provide a place where they can unplug, rest, and recharge.<\/li>\n
  3. To help students draw closer to God.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We’ve done many local retreats and also gone to lake Shasta in California for a houseboat retreat. Bellow are some ideas and documents to help you as you plan your retreats for your students.<\/p>\n

    Camp Casey:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    An affordable and close by venue with plenty of outdoor and indoor rec space. Stayed just for a weekend and we made our own food. So biggest thing is just to pack games, devotional material, and plan for food.<\/p>\n

    Houseboats:<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    One of the highlights of high school youth ministry! An eight day trip where we stay on a houseboat for six days with two leaders and thirteen students. Enjoying God’s creation, fellowship, and intentional time of drawing close to God; this is a trip I highly recommend.<\/p>\n

    This is put on by Sonshine Ministries<\/a>. Bellow you’ll find documents for this trip:<\/p>\n

      Retreats don’t have to take place in “exotic” locations, simply using the facilities that you have (even if you don’t, get creative!)<\/em> is more than enough. It’s all about you creating a program and making space for your kids to connect with one another, your leaders, and most importantly with Jesus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
