Winter Fest 2012 - Individuals

Retreat for 3rd - 6th graders

February 24-26, 2012

 

What is Winter Fest?

Winter Fest is a retreat for 3rd - 6th graders featuring winter activities like broomball, tubing and ice skating combined with favorites like carpetball, Bible-based teaching and worship.  Although Winter Fest is activity driven and loads of fun, the focus of the weekend is for students to grow in their relationship with God while creating bonds with their peers and counselors.  We will provide the counselor almost as if you were coming to camp in the summer.
