Connect to Your Roots at Week 2
July 31–Aug. 5
Week 2 will be lead by the powerful team of co-directors Kristine Learey and Margaret Herbers. We are planning many exciting activities, such as the Family Fun Night and campfire with s'Mores, Candle Light Prayer, Talent Night, swimming, hiking, crafts, dodgeball, and more. And back by popular demand: The Adventure Race!
The theme of Week 2 is "Connect to Your Roots." Co-education directors Kyra Moyer and Melissa Manor will facilitate interactive, hands-on learning and personal growth for our youth. There will be age-appropriate activities and discussions to dive deeper into understanding our "roots." Our families shape who we become, and having strong, healthy connections is important. From there we can expand to our communities and the world as our extended family.
Give your family the gift of 5 days spent together as a family, surrounded by your friends and the beautiful Pocono Mountains!
