JUNIOR HIGH YOUTH OPPORTUNITIES

JR. DYC

A weekend retreat for youth in grades 6-8 and their youth leader/adult chaperone.  It is held at Camp Mikell the first weekend of December.  The weekend consists of small groups, which discuss issues related around the theme, singing, worshiping, a dance, and playing together.


NEW BEGINNINGS
This retreat is designed to respond to issues, concerns and needs of teenagers in grades 6-9.  New Beginnings is a spiritual growing and renewal weekend that is held in the fall at Camp Fortson and in the spring at Camp Mikell.  The weekend is filled with talks, skits, sharing, praying and singing.  Each participant must attend with an adult sponsor.  The cost per person is $100.00. Visit the New Beginnings Site for more information.

NEW BEGINNINGS TEAM

Youth that have attended a New Beginnings weekend are able to apply to be on the Team.  The Team is responsible for what goes on during the weekend from small group leaders to prayer groups to outside activities.  The Team meets once before the actual retreat weekend (usually the weekend prior) for a training day.  Visit the New Beginnings Site.


HUNGER WALK

Every March the Hunger Walk takes place at Turner Field.  Youth groups (among others) raise money to support the Episcopal Charities Foundation.
