Meet & pick up at the church. Held at Camp Asbury.COTS Jr Youth - Fall Retreat at Camp Asbury!
Think you can't make a difference because you're in Jr High? You could make ALL the difference. YOU can Light the Way. We get away to Camp Asbury for a couple days & through games & activities we get to know each other & God better. It is THE BEST way for the youth to gel as a group AND it's fun. For youth grades 6-8. Friends are invited!

(Select "Add" in the "Additional Participants" section.) If you need to make a change to your submitted registration form please contact Curt and he'll take care of you.

What NOT to bring:
(Parents: We are asking for your help with this. Do not wave goodbye to your son or daughter without their phone and iPod or whatever in your hand. We understand it may be difficult for your daughter or son to go without, but these items undercut the ability of your daughter or son to be fully present at the retreat and often create problems. Thank you!)
- No cell phones, please! Adults will have cell phones for emergencies, but the youth will be RETREATING from the cloud and the outside world for 42 hours, 45 minutes.
- No valuable that you’d be upset if it was lost or broken – that’s just not fun. Please leave your valuables at home.
Start praying now for God to bless our weekend!
