All youth in grades 6-12 are invited to the Winter Youth Retreat at Bedford Camp & Conference Center February 16-18.

The theme of Drawing the Circle will be presented by Alexis Tardy. Alexis is the Coordinator for Ministry with Youth and Young Adults with Disciples Home Missions. It is sure to be a fun and informative time for the youth of our region.

Cost for this event is $75 per person. We hope you join us for this wonderful retreat!

The theme, Cultivating Peace, will focus on a journey to inner peace and peacemaking. Keynoter, Jerry Zehr, is an ordained minister and has led interfaith ministries for over 35 years. He received the Interfaith Ambassador of the Year Award from the Center for Interfaith Cooperation in 2023. Jerry and his wife Diane have been married for over 37 years with two daughters and two grandchildren. The theme is based in his new book “The Peacemaker’s Path: Multifaith Reflections to Deepen Your Spirituality.”
(This retreat will be held at Bedford Camp & Conference Center. Camp Bedford offers a lot of beauty this time of year! Participants in the retreat will stay in heated cabins, the bathhouse is separate from the cabins. Those with mobility struggles may find it difficult to navigate the camp.)
