What do you get when you take 10 junior high youth, 4 adults, several inches of snow, and dump them all at Presbyterian Camps in Saugatuck, MI? You get an amazing Elevation Winter Retreat!!!
We had an absolute blast at Saugatuck on January 26-28. The weather was perfect...not too cold and plenty of snow. The fellowship was great...lots of laughs, games, snowball fights, and sledding. The hot chocolate was in fact limitless. Our discussions were meaningful and deep and worship was inspiring. What more could we have asked for?
The theme for the weekend was Do Unto Others and dealt with how we treat other people in our lives. We had four incredible sessions on The Golden Rule, Love Your Neighbor as Yourself, Love Your Enemies, and Christian Unity. Through all of these we reflected on how our faith impacts our relationships with others.
This trip was so much fun, I can't wait until our next trip...Elevation WorkCamp at the Illinois Special Olympics, June 14-17. You won't want to miss it!
And now, some more pictures from the weekend:

I am one of the campers that went on this journey and I have to say that I was just settling in but we had to go. I am so going back next year and then year after that. We had really nice HEATED cabins and lounge to play cards in or hang out with a few friends and talk. The food was the BEST CAMP FOOD ever!!!!!! we went sledding down Mt. Baldy which is literally 20 miles long. We had then dining hall which wasnt only a dining hall! There was a Hot Cocao machine and a popcorn machine and a fireplace. Well what im trying to say is that this was the best trip tyhat I have ever been on my whole entire life
sincerely,
Bradley Moore
