What To Expect/Schedule

• Formal teaching times each morning for adults to glean from Ezzos and Links, to help take parenting principles to the next level.
• There will be a planned kids’ program, led by Ed and Amanda Dobos and your teens, during formal teaching times.
• Dedicated time for seasoned couples to encourage younger families in small group setting, throughout the weekend. We know these times will be encouraging and provide wisdom and practical application for families to take home.
• Tons of family games, free time, and late-night chats.
• A talent show, so bring your instruments, goofy costumes/skits, or monologues. It is always a highlight of the weekend.
• The Retreat Center, Dining Hall and campsites are a short walk from all of the activities (lake swimming, beach volleyball, playground, paddleboats, kayaking, human foosball, disc golf, fishing, etc).
