Retreats are for getting away, right? Right. But they aren't always for relaxing. For instance, last weekend I was a sponsor at a youth retreat, which is totally not relaxing, but it's about having fun and being crazy. I was not totally excited about it, but had signed up so I just had to let my personal attitudes go. Well, I was pleasantly surprised by the weekend. The camp was much more organized than I expected, and they even had a girls spa on Saturday afternoon. What a treat! It was cold and kind of snowy, but I think that only made it more fun.
A couple of highlights:
A small number of great girls in our cabin - great for conversations
Awesome speaker and applicable sessions
Afternoon of pampering
Great improv comedian who made us all laugh
Seeing our youth impacted by the speaker and hearing them express what they learned
Great food (as expected)
Here are the feet of the girls I spent the weekend with
Yes, flip flops go very well with socks when there's snow! :)
