Confirmation Retreat
April 13-15, 2007

Our WF youth attended a retreat at Dickson Valley Retreat Center April 13-15, 2007.  This retreat was mandatory for our 2007 Confirmation Class.  This weekend the focus was on allowing the Confirmands to consider how to express their beliefs.  Throughout this weekend, as well as during Confirmation classes, the teens were challenged to think about what they, not their parents, believe and how those beliefs impact the way they live.

Lion Game

The first activity of the weekend was “The Lion Game,” which was an entertaining and lighthearted way to start the fun for the weekend.

Once the large group was split into two smaller groups, Confirmands were challenged to work as teams to try to build the tallest tower of any group using only balloons, straws, and tape. Each group had their own unique ideas.

Clean up after the balloon tower exercise was not a quiet process by any means.

During some free time on Friday night, some youth and adults enjoyed a bonfire prepared by the Dickson Valley staff.
