Camping and Retreats

Jesus often went away -- to the wilderness, the mountain top, the garden -- to pray.  We also seek renewal with the Holy through camping and retreat

Summer Camp

Young people, kindergarten through high school, can head to some great camps this summer.  Through Winnebago Presbytery, we participate in camping programs through Pilgrim Center and Moon Beach Camps.  Contact the our Sunday School Superintendent, Denise Bastian, or church office for registration or scholarship information.

Synod School 2010 - Something for Everyone!

Date: last week of July
Location: Buena Vista University, Storm Lake, Iowa

The week-long event is described in this year's brochure as “a special learning and personal enrichment experience for all ages.” The brochure notes, “The week is designed for laity and clergy, individuals and families. Classes and activities are available for adults, youth and children – some separately, some are intergenerational – to stretch the mind and nurture the soul.”

As one individual noted after last summer’s Synod School, “I didn’t know Presbyterians could gather together and have fun.” Another described Synod School as “an unexpected spiritual awakening – wow!”

In July 2009, Synod School drew more than 600 participants – a record number, with 200 youth & children.
