Leader's Retreat

This past weekend, Richard and I, along with 9 students and 1 other adult leader, went to the Great Wolf Lodge to have our first "student leader's retreat". The Great Wolf Lodge is a resort about 1 hour away and it has a huge indoor water park inside the hotel. It also has a whole bunch of other things for kids to do like an arcade, dance club, magic quest, Pizza Hut, Starbucks and more, so you can imagine that everyone was pretty excited to go there. The picture below is of the water park from the outside, you can see the slides that come out and go back in.


The main point of this retreat was to get the students ready for 'student led small groups' which Richard will be starting in the youth groups come January. Richard had prepared some great material to get the students informed and ready to lead on their own. I had a lot of fun getting to know everyone better and them getting to know Richard and I better too.

Here I am with the 4 girls that came. We had a huge room with 4 beds and a fireplace, so it was very roomy =)


This is a picture of a few of the guys getting off the "Tornado", definitely the most fun ride there.
