SDPC Youth is going on a Fall retreat!
Take in the crisp Fall air! Aaaaah
Sometimes you just need a weekend away from your regular routine. This is that opportunity. SDPC Youth is going to be taking a Fall retreat to Woodland Lakes Christian Camp in Amelia, OH (about an hour away from SDPC).
Students will be engaged with Bible teaching, singing, and small groups. They will enjoy fellowship through fun games (like glow in the dark capture the flag) and a high ropes course!
High Ropes Course with Zipline
Gaga Ball!What is this year's theme?
Loneliness is a problem. Today we live in an ironic age where people have greater access to communication than ever before and yet by-in-large people experience loneliness to greater degrees. Get Z has often been described as the lonely generation. According to a 2023 surgeon general report titled Our Loneliness Epidemic, the average time spent with friends for young people has decreased about 70% in the last twenty years. This poses a serious problem as human beings are created with the need for community and friendship.
Tragically, for many young people friendship seems confusing altogether. What is friendship? Why do we need it? How do we form meaningful friendships? How does the Gospel of Jesus Christ form our understanding of friendship altogether? These are the sorts of things we're going to explore on this year's Fall Retreat.
So if friendship feels like a video game that you don't know how to play...
Or if friendship seems like a recipe but you're missing some ingredients...
Or if you just want to learn how to be a better friend to others...
Come on the Fall Retreat
When is it?
The retreat will take place Oct 24-26. Drop off is 4:30-5:00 on Friday with departure being at 5:00. We plan to arrive back at SDPC just after 2:00 on Sunday.

SDPC students (and friends) from grades 7-12.

We'll do as much as we can to have cost not be the reason why a student is unable to attend. If your teen would need assistance with cost that please contact Skyler Gerald.
