WHAT IS: Jr. High Castaway
This is an extremely exciting, high fun, spiritually impacting retreat for jr. high youth and the leaders that come along. This is our 8th year hosting this jr. high retreat and this retreat is sure to be a hit! This year's theme is 'Wired.' On the retreat we will be using live music, drama, multi-media presentations, relevant speakers and more. Our hope is that each young person is encouraged to grow more deeply in their faith with Christ.
Last spring Risen Savior brought about 60 youth in junior high as well as 21 senior high Servant Leader Team / Work Crew and seven adult leaders. There were nearly 400 total people at camp for the weekend.
