Dates are live for JC Retreat ’25!
We are so excited to have y’all back in the mountains!
Each year, we host a retreat for our Junior Counselors. Our hope is to give them a crossroads during the school year in which they can be refreshed in the camp environment, make new friends, encounter old ones, and grow into their new responsibility as a JC in an enriching group setting.
WHO: This retreat is designed for Junior Counselors at Camps Kahdalea and Chosatonga
WHAT: A weekend of FUN, ADVENTURE, FRIENDSHIP, PRAYER, and REFLECTION in the Blue Ridge Mountains
WHEN: Friday, April 11 until Sunday, April 13, 2024
WHERE: Camp Kahdalea in Brevard, NC (with adventures into the mountains included)
WHY: Because we love y’all and WE ARE A FAMILY. Thank you for being a part of the camp family!
COST: $200 per participant. Full payment reserves your spot! This covers 5 meals, snacks, gasoline/vehicles for adventures, special program offerings, airport pickups and drop offs, and potential gear needs.
