The theme for this year’s retreat is “Save the World.” “God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world: but that the world through him might be saved” (John 3:17) for Jesus came to “seek and to save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10). He truly came to save the world and then gave us the command to continue his work of spreading the Gospel. We want to encourage our youth, parents and children to truly have a salvation experience and then to pass it on.

If you are a family of 4, 7, 12 or 1 or 2 – you are welcome! Family Retreat is for everyone and you need not feel that you need to have a spouse or young children along to attend. There will be something for everyone.

Here are some things to know:

• Check-in begins at 5:00pm on Friday, January 25, 2008 and checkout begins at 11:00am on Sunday, January 27, 2008.
• The Youth Retreat will be separate from the KIDS and Adult Retreats most of the time. All Retreats will eat together.
• There will be times when the parents involved in the Adult Retreat and children involved in the KIDS Retreat will be together. Parents in the Adult Retreat will be responsible for their kids (that are not involved in the Youth Retreat) during meals, free times and at night for sleeping.
• Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by a parent or other responsible adult with the parent's written permission.
• Female adults and female children aged 4-11 will be housed together as well as any male or female children aged 0-3 years. (Please note that accommodations are based on the family needs. These are just guidelines.)
• Male adults and male children aged 4-11 will be housed together (and other toddlers as necessary).
• Those involved in the Youth Retreat will have separate lodging from the adults and kids.
• You will need to bring your own bedding and any special needs such as a travel crib for the babies. (Most beds at the campground are twin beds/bunks.)
• If you have small children in need of a highchair or booster seat, you may want to bring that also.
