We are excited for the Bridge Community Church's first High School Fall Retreat! This is a very unique opportunity for students grades 9-12 (14 - 18 years old) to escape from a busy life of school, extracurriculars, jobs, etc. and refill themselves spiritually. Our theme this year is Youth Making a Difference (1 Timothy). We want to take some time to pour into youth and provide them spiritual wisdom/skills in order to take the light of Jesus into our world. Students of faith should know that they can make a difference, and you don't have to gain age or experience to do so - they simply need the love of Jesus. Below is all the information you will need to know about the retreat! Dates/Times: Thursday, October 17th - Saturday, October 19th (Davis School District Fall Break - when students are off of school) 1) October 17th @ 1:00pm - Lunch and Packing Party @ The Bridge Community 2) October 17th @ 3:00pm - Depart from Church and Arrive at Venue 3) October 19th @ 12:30pm - Arrive Back at Church and Go Home Location: Our venue is located in beautiful Logan, UT at a local VRBO home.

Sleeping Arrangements: Our venue features 7 bedrooms with lots of beds! Males and females will be separated. Assignments will be given to students at the venue. Our goal is to let everyone sleep comfortably. Depending on registration numbers, some students may be asked to share a larger bed with another student of the same gender. Beds are assigned first come first serve. If you don't wish to share a bed, you may bring a cot or sleeping bag, as we have lots of space. What to Expect: 1) Main Sessions: We will have 2-3 main sessions led by our fellow volunteers. This will feature worship time, a lesson on our topic, as well as breakout groups with discussion/activities. 2) Devotionals: A few select students will lead our morning/afternoon devotional times in which we will dive into a quick passage from scripture and pray together. 3) Games/Activities: We will have fun game time together. We have lot's of yard space, a movie theater, and a game room - we will be utilizing the fall time to have fun! 4) Hike: We will be taking some time to hike. The trail will not be too difficult or require immense physical exertion. Be sure to bring clothes for the fall weather. 5) Campfire: What kind of fall retreat has no campfire? S'mores and testimonial time will allow for great fellowship and connection.
