WINTER RETREAT!

2024  4:12 Winter Retreat

Last year we ran our first Winter Retreat and the experience and feedback from the students was overwhelmingly positive. This year, we will have 4:12 Winter Retreat 2.0 at Ridge Haven in Cono, IA on February 16-18 2024.


Students will be responsible for arranging their transportation to the camp, which is about 30 min from Marion (3269 Quasqueton Ave #9623, Walker, IA 52352).  


Check-ins will begin on Friday at 6 pm and pick up at 11 am on Sunday.


This will be a great time to get away from the routine to grow closer to God and each other.

JOIN US!

All students from 5-12 grades are welcome to join. We have limited spots available, so make sure to register as soon as possible if your child plans to go.
The deadline for registration is February 1 if spots are available.

 

The cost is:
