The Young at Heart Retreat is an overnight event for our friends who are 55 years old and older. The evening on June 5 provides time to relax around a campfire, have a snack, and hear a devotional thought. The day on June 6 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.
