COTS Jr Youth - Fall Retreat at Camp Wanake! 

What if Jr Hi youth could make things right & change the world through kindness? We believe they CAN & it's what God seeks. Come with us to Camp Wanake for a couple days & through games & activities we get to know each other & God better AND have fun. It's THE BEST way for the youth to gel as a group. For youth grades 6-8. Friends are invited!

• NOTE FROM WANAKE: "We are asking guest to freshly launder their bedding in order to help prevent the spread of bed bugs.  By that Wanake means at least 30 minutes in a dryer on high heat and packed immediately into a sealed bag or inspected luggage (duffle bags may also be treated in a dryer on high heat). Bedbugs have become a prevalent problem in northeast Ohio and across the United States.  Wanake wants to protect campers and guests and their families and the camp itself from expensive and inconvenient treatments.  Please make sure that all linens, sleeping bags, and pillows are freshly laundered immediately prior to your arrival at Wanake.  Laundering should include at least thirty minutes in a dryer on high temperature.  Wanake has a protocol in place to respond rapidly to any incident involving bedbugs.  It’s a good idea, between any overnight destinations, whether vacation or camp, to inspect luggage and to launder all bedding, drying for at least 30 minutes at high temperature."

• 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 and 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!
