Middle School Retreat

Get excited for a weekend with friends at camp! Middle School Retreat is a classic weekend camp experience: paintball, high ropes course, meadow games, night games, amazing food, and amazing chapel session.

Our hope for the weekend is not only to have fun, but to encourage and challenge everyone to grow closer to our good and loving Creator with friends, new and old!

If your church is not yet attending this retreat, encourage your youth pastor commit to this weekend! This is an event for all youth pastors/leaders to attend with their youth group while leaving it up to us to plan the event.

Campers are welcome to attend even if they do not attend a youth group.

Weekend Activities:

• Paintball – $10.00 per hopper (~200 paintballs); paintball gun and mask provided
• High Ropes Course (such as Zipline and Giant Swing)
• Meadow games
• Night games
• Awesome worship times
• Amazing Food
• Fun with friends

Scholarships

Ghormley doesn’t offer scholarships for this event, but if you need help in getting here, talk to your church! Many of the churches that attend this event offer help in getting kids here. Don’t miss out on this great weekend!

Angel Tree offers scholarships for kids with incarcerated parents. Contact us for more information.

Note for Youth Pastors

This weekend is designed for you to attend with your youth group. We plan the activities, create the schedule, and provide the food and lodging, so that YOU can participate with YOUR KIDS. Our goal is that you walk away from this weekend with greater connections and relationships with your youth group so that you have more discipleship opportunities throughout the year.

We ask that you bring enough volunteers to counsel your youth group (if help is needed, please contact us). It is possible that, if you have enough kids, you could have entire cabins for your youth group. If you are bringing a smaller amount of kids, we may be placing you with another youth group in one cabin.
