COST: $175
**if money is an issue, sponsorships are available**
We're traveling to Talladega, AL to stay at Shocco Springs Baptist Retreat Center. Shocco Springs is a fun retreat center with a ton to do outdoors (gaga ball, flag football, rock climbing, hiking, etc.) and gyms to play indoors as well. We’ll have time to fellowship and enjoy hanging together, but most importantly, we'll focus our hearts on Christ through 4 sessions and time in small groups. Be a part of a great weekend, and invite a friend to tag along!
WHAT TO BRING?
Bible
Lunch/Spending Money for the ride home (we’ll stop by Bucee’s on the way home) $20 should be plenty for lunch - they also have a gift shop at Shocco so bring more if you want
Towel & washcloth
Toiletries
Pillow & blanket (Sheets are provided)
1 roll of toilet paper per student (the worst thing to run out of is TP, so this helps us bring extra)

-
Rain jacket & regular jacket
WHAT NOT TO BRING?
Video Games (Nintendo Switches, Play Stations, Xbox’s)
Bad attitudes & Drama
Anything you know you shouldn’t – vapes, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, weapons… this goes without saying and has never been a problem
OVERVIEW OF THE WEEKEND
We'll have sessions focused in Scripture over the course of the weekend.
We'll have small groups and be challenged to see how the Gospel applies to our culture and our lives
We'll have time to hang out and play games in order to grow intentional relationships and community
