The weekend offers a relaxed retreat with ample free time. Alex House, located by the ocean, provides numerous options for us to explore the local beaches. Meals and accommodation are included, along with plenty of space for cozy fireside conversations and games. We will begin at 7 pm on Friday (please eat before you arrive) with games, followed by sessions, worship, a campfire, and hot chocolate. Additionally, we will host a movie night on Friday before lights out. Saturday will feature free time, fireside chats, worship, crafts, games, and our annual trivia night. There will also be opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, breathe in fresh air, and gather around the campfire and beach. On Sunday, we will get creative, work on group projects, and enjoy some lighthearted fun before concluding the weekend with worship. Meals included are breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Saturday, and breakfast and lunch on Sunday. Youth are welcome to bring their preferred snacks, ensuring they are peanut-free and in sealed bags.
Participants should bring their bedding items and linens, including a sleeping bag, blankets, towels, pillows, and an optional twin-sized fitted sheet. A detailed list of other necessary items will be emailed a few days before the weekend. We encourage bringing thermoses, sweatpants, PJs, blankets, and slippers!
