Here’s how the retreat works

All winter retreats are dependent on the weather.  We are hoping for snow and cold weather, something we usually have at WHC in January!

Friday night, after some preliminary fun, we will start with a great worship band and an exciting speaker.  The retreat starts at 7:00, so eat dinner before you come or on your way here.

Bring your sleeping bag and pillow, as well as your winter clothes.  You may want to pack a few extra clothes – things tend to get wet during the winter!

The first 75 people who register will stay in the Inn at Windsor.  We will be bunking 4 to a room in the Inn. Be sure to list a roommate preference if you have one (Below).  The rest stay in Burgess.

We need each church that sends 3 kids to also send an adult chaperone. The overall ratio of teens to adults is 7:1.  That means if you send 8 kids, you ought to plan to send at least 2 adults with them.  Send one adult with 3-7 kids.  There will be one adult for every two rooms in the Inn.

Other things to bring:     Bible, Camera, ping-pong paddle, winter inflatables, hat/gloves, grubby clothes,  gifts for Nate and Jim..

Other Comments:

Saturday we will start with Breakfast following by a morning service.  After that service, the fun will proceed until lunchtime, when we will break for food.

There will be some discussion groups meeting after lunch covering some different topics, but by 2:00, the agenda will be fun and games for the rest of the day.

Those going to Pat’s Peak will begin to pack up for the short drive to the Peak (about 20 minutes).  Those remaining behind will launch into the activity choices prepared, everything from indoor sports and games to outdoor craziness.  We plan to carve out an ice rink on the pond for winter boot hockey.  By dividing the retreat group into four or five different components, there will be plenty of fun for everyone. Bring your tubes, snowshoes, lots of gloves, as well as sneakers and whatever you need for volleyball, basketball, etc. Hopefully, for those who love the outdoors, a campfire on Saturday night!

Sunday, after breakfast, we’ll have some small group discussions and then a worship service.  The retreat ends after lunch on Sunday (1:00 PM)
