New Life Adventures
Winter Adventure

February 5-7, 2010
Participants: College or High School Students
about the retreat.

This New Life adventure is sure to be a treat! We will be spending the weekend at the Greenawalt's Cabin high on Tussey Mountain. The weather outside might be frightful (which would be great), but the fire inside will keep us toasty warm! During the day Saturday we will hike the Mid-State Trail (which is just yards away from the cabin) and enjoy a winter wonderland. Peaceful, wide-open scenery awaits us. Breathtaking views from atop Tussey Mountain will bring lasting memories. Then after a full day outside, we'll enjoy the great fun in the warm, rustic, mountain cabin.
Throughout the weekend we will dig into God's Word and learn valuable lessons to live like Christ. Pack a bag, strap on the hiking boats, and throw the heavy coat on, then join us on a winter adventure.
