Bring a spirit of awe and adventure to this “time apart” amidst God’s fall splendor, spending quality time relaxing and nourishing your body and soul. There will be time for active and reflective activities; time to explore the Park Rapids area; time to spend in the great outdoors, and time away from the distractions of everyday life. Many of the week’s activities happen in the Lodge at Northern Pines Camp, utilizing their hotel like rooms, each with a private bath and comfortable lower beds. Meals are prepared with adult tastes in mind and include a special candlelight dinner, with entertainment on the last evening of camp. The daily schedule will include a time of morning worship and a study/discussion time. Afternoons will be spent with field trips, exploration of the area, a chance to fish, hike or play golf, and a chance to take part in a service project. Evenings are devoted to group activities and games. The week is a time of good fellowship with old and new friends; a time to enjoy God’s creation; and a time to grow in our daily walk with God.
