It’s been a couple weeks, but I am finally getting around to posting an update about our 2023 teen retreat at Mount Zion Baptist Camp. And an amazing retreat it was!
Other than our first retreat in 2020, this retreat had the most first-time campers, including this group brought by Pastor Oton from the Videira church.One of the greatest blessings of the week was the presence of our speaker and his wife, Rob and Becky Ingmire, from Blairsville, PA.Pastor Ingmire bringing the Word, while I interpret. The chosen subjects: depression, anxiety and solitude, spoke directly to many of the young people present.Our services…and indeed the entire program…were led by a very capable group of young people.Happy campers are the best campers.Activities ranged from the conventional……to the decidedly UNconventional.
One of the highlights of the week was the inauguration of our new water slide, which proved to be a huge success. Take a look!
For the first time at one of our teen retreats we put together a team of counselors. They all stepped up and did an outstanding job.The success of the week can be seen by the fact that, when it was all said and done and everybody had gone home, many of the campers wanted to spend some final moments with our speaker and his wife.
But pictures can’t do complete justice to how great the retreat really was. So here’s a video. Enjoy!
