Wesley in the Woods Retreat
Wesley in the Woods Retreat
September 13-15
Grades 5-8
Wesley in the Woods is a TWK UMC spiritual formation retreat for 5th-8th graders. This retreat will be a chance to get away, learn, grow, pray, and play together for kids in the TWK UMC who are approaching or have recently completed confirmation. We will offer opportunities in line with our shared Wesleyan heritage for worship, connection, service, spiritual formation, and play for kids and leaders alike during this milestone season of faith development. Pastor Maggie will be taking a group from West End to this retreat at Camp Cedar Crest.
Cost: $90 per person*
*We never want cost to prevent someone from participating. Scholarships are available and you can indicate a need on the registration form.
