Planning a retreat for a youth group, church, or organization can be a challenging task. Whether you're planning a getaway weekend for relaxation and reflections or a session-filled spiritual retreat for your church group, there are a lot of factors to consider. One factor that needs consideration is the time of year the retreat will take place.
It's difficult to find a time slot in which everyone in the group can attend. Everyone has a busy life, and some have tight schedules; therefore, planning the dates in advance is important. Tekoa Foothills has put together a few steps to help you find the perfect time to schedule a retreat.
Many children have spent their summers at day and sleepaway camps, trying new activities such as swimming, hiking, and sports. However, many families may be unaware that camp provides children with a variety of opportunities to learn important life skills that are difficult to obtain in any other environment.
In this blog, we will explain the skills and benefits that your children will gain from the summer camp experience.
You may be tempted to think that Tekoa Foothills is just another Summer Camp. However, Tekoa Foothills is not just a summer camp opportunity, but a place that we’ve opened up for others to experience outdoors, adventures, and the light of Christ.
Whether it is a family reunion, family vacation, youth retreat, or summer camp, we work hard to create something special for all who visit us.
Every child is unique and gifted in various ways. The personalities and characteristics are on full display from day one and only grow more pronounced as they get older.
By the time they reach elementary school, it’s abundantly clear that no two children are the same. Each child approaches summer camp uniquely as well.
While some are ready for a week away from home at an overnight resident camp at a young age, others may need a year or two longer before they are ready. Middle schoolers are ready to take on more advanced skills and activities and deserve their own camp experience. Young leaders and those with a heart for service may want a way to serve together with their friends from their youth groups.
