The Young at Heart Retreat is an overnight event for our friends who are 55 years old and older. The evening on June 4th provides time to relax around a campfire, have a snack, and hear a devotional thought. The day on June 5th includes two meals, skits, special music, preaching, wagon rides, the Lakeglide, and many other activities. Because several of our friends come from many hours away and have a full day planned, we offer an overnight option for this event.
Please see the options below.
