Penn-York Retreat


Hello everyone! We have returned from our retreat with the Juniors to Penn-York Camp in PA. We all had a great time even though we had no snow. The kids had to occupy themselves with something other than sledding. They played pool, football, capture the flag, basketball, and took walks on the different trails. But mostly played pool. A few of them even went "grassing"- the snowless version of sledding. We had a very light snowfall one morning, and several of the kids tried to make the best of it and go sledding. Not very successfully, but none-the-less, they did try! We had Bible study in the morning and in the evening, and meals three times a day. Those kids downed more sodas than I knew one could! I was glad that the soda machine was busted the first day, because they were hyper enough without soda in them! Tuesday afternoon each cabin made a mini movie/skit about 5 verses (whichever they wanted) from the Gospels. They enjoyed that and it was a good thing to do. My group did the 5 loaves and two fishes passage. They did such a good job, especially since we only had a half hour to come up with everything and could only have five props. I took many, many photos, some of which I will try to share with you except that the photo button on this post creator isn't working. I'm not sure what is wrong with it...
