Questa retreat for all ages
Quest is a get-a-way retreat in the north woods of Wisconsin that will provide spiritual enrichment, and at the same time fellowship and recreation, in a controlled Christian environment. Wether a peaceful retreat suits you, or tubing on the white water falls of Robinson Creek, or competing on the ball fields, or hiking through beautiful forest trails, or so much more, this session could be for you.
Quest is three full days and two partial days of relaxation, fun and spiritual enlightenment. There will be programs for everyone and we will try to custom design them to meet the desires of our campers.
The cost is very low and many will be called on to help with programs, classes and some kitchen duty. Meals will be provided from Tuesday evening dinner, through breakfast Saturday morning.
Our theme this year is “Love One Another”, something mentioned a couple times in the new testatment. Bob Kallus, our presenter, will show us ways to improve how we do this in true agape form.
June 15 - 19, 2010
$65 per person - 5 and under free - $200 max per family
There are some positions that will waive your retreat fee:
kitchen salad person; kitchen cook (menus are all planned); pot scrubber; licensed nurse; certified swim life guard.
If you choose this option you will have time to participate in activities and recreation.
Who might enjoy attending Quest? Former campers now too old to attend regular camp. Families, young and old. Singles, come alone or get together a group. Seniors, come alone or get together a group. Youth groups.
Campers 17 years old and under must have an adult sponsor attending the session. Could be: parent, a friend, someone from your congregation, youth minister, etc. (having a problem finding a sponsor? call the director, Jim Frost). Campers 17 and under that do not have a legal guardian attending will also need to bring a health form signed by their legal guardian.
Where do I sleep? We have several cabins and some lodge rooms. We will try to accommodate families and groups with their own cabins as space permits. All cabin and room assignments will be considered on a first-registered-first-served basis.
If you have an RV we have several spaces with electrical hook-ups and many great tent sites.
