notes for congregations about youth retreats

  • We encourage congregations to bring groups of youth to retreats! We ask that each church bring a chaperone that can be housed in each cabin based on your congregations required ratios - 1 chaperone to 8 youth. Chaperones for youth retreats attend free of charge but do have to register!
  • Interested in staying 1 more night after the programmed retreat? Please reach out to us at 320-796-2181 to extend your stay. Please note that no programming will be available for extended stays. Chaperones from your congregation should be made available for rooming.

Tips for promoting Programmed Retreats in your congregation

Promoting in Your Congregation
  • Talk about camp early and often
  • Encourage "temple talks" from previous campers to share their experiences
  • Plan and block a time for your congregation to come to camp​
  • Camp isn't just for kids! We have other opportunities such as adult retreats and family retreats.

Bulletin insert for 2025-26 retreats
​Recruiting Campers
  • The best way to get kids to camp, is for you, their connection to church, to ASK and INVITE them.
  • Provide information on scholarships; we want all kids to have access to camp and not for finances to stop kids from attending.
  • Plan to attend camp with your kids. Bring your kids to camp instead of sending them to camp. Ask us more about being a resource staff and experience your campers growth in faith alongside them!
