Even thought it has been been a week since the youth retreat, and I should have written about this sometime early last week... I didn't, so here it goes.
Each year for our winter retreat we head off to Paradise Lake located in Denver, PA for a fun filled weekend in an A-frame house with a lakeside view. This is my favorite retreat, I haven't figured out why yet, but it's probably because we're forced to all be so close all of the time, it just makes for such better unity. So this is what the weekend looked like:
 |
| All of the girls with their food supply for the weekend! |
 |
| It's not a retreat without a game of Settlers of Catan |
 |
| The weather on Saturday wasn't the greatest |
|
 |
| Some of them still went sledding anyways... | | | |
|
|
 |
| there was lots of "jamming" |
 |
| There was LOTS of Wii Dancing |
 |
| by everyone! |
 |
| Classic violent game of Dutch Blitz |
 |
| AND BLANKET FOORRRRTSSS!!! |
All in all I would say that everyone had a great time! We watched the movie
To Save A Life and did the study that goes with it. I found it extremely challenging and I really hope that it impacted our teens as well!
Hey Ashley,
ReplyDeleteDo you have a phone number or email for Paradise Lake. I'd like to take my youth group there, but I don't know who to talk to to make reservations. Thanks, Fred
Fred,
ReplyDeleteI am so so sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you on this, I kind of fell of the blogging band wagon for a bit. I will talk to some people tomorrow at church and try to get you an answer soon. I hope that this isn't too late. It's an awesome awesome place!
