CYIA Winter Retreat

What is it? This is an activity packed yet spiritually focused Saturday retreat where teens can learn more about Christian Youth In Action®, a ministry of Child Evangelism Fellowship®, which trains youth ages 12 & up to share the gospel and lead 5-Day Clubs® throughout the summer where they will teach Bible lessons, tell exciting missionary stories, teach memory verses, and lead songs and games.

Teens from CEF chapters across the state will come together at the CEF Winter Retreat. We will take time to share about CEF and give teens more information on what being a CYIA Summer Missionary is like. We will have times of worship, hear messages from God’s word, and take time for personal and group devotions. And of course you’ll have a blast enjoying everything Camp Good News has to offer between ice skating, sledding, and other snow activities (weather permitting), gaga ball, taking part in fun outdoor and indoor group games, and getting to meet some new friends. See you there!
