The Illinois Wisconsin District Jr. High Winter retreat will be January 18-19, 2008 starting at 7:00 on Friday and closing January 19 at 4:00pm. They will meet at First Church of the Brethren in Peoria.
Jr. High Youth grades 6-9 are welcome. We realize that 9th graders are in high school but there have had requests to include them especially for those who are not quite ready to go to the high school events.
This event begins after supper time on Friday, so participants will need to have eaten before they arrive. We will ask everyone to bring snacks to share (a snack potluck).
We expect at least one adult, at the event, for every 6 youth. Please do not send youth without adult chaperons. If you are send both male and female youth send male and female chaperons. Adults will be asked to participate in all events.
There will be a nominal fee for participants to cover food and supplies. Mark your calendars. Contact Lisa Fike (Freeport Church of the Brethren) for more information.
