About The Event
"All must surge, but the youth must soar."
East Bay Lights youth retreats provide young people between the ages of 15 and 25 with the opportunity to develop individually and collectively in a safe, positive, and uplifting environment. The retreats involve intensive study, devotional spaces, artistic activities and group games that together help prepare youth for service to their community.
This retreat is overnight and will begin Friday 4pm and finish Monday at 5pm. Participants will be grouped into small groups with a facilitator for the duration of the camp and there will be activities that involve everyone together.
Schedule for each day roughly begins with breakfast at 8:30am, group sessions, artistic activities (drama, guitar), lunch at 12:30pm, group sessions, sports and physical games, dinner at 6:30pm and evening sessions.
