This November— Friday, Nov 21 - Sunday Nov 23— we’re headed back to Camp Gideon for our annual Fall Retreat!
Camp Gideon is now under new management and affiliated with Malone University, which partners with our Evana Network. Because rental and lodging costs have increased, the total cost per student is $75, which includes lodging, meals, and a T-Shirt. The following is everything you need to know for our upcoming Fall Retreat — from packing details and payment info to medical forms and key reminders. We can’t wait for an incredible weekend together as our students grow in faith, build community, and experience God in a powerful way!

Food Details 🍽️
To help with meals and snacks for the weekend, we’re asking each group to bring something to share:
Boys: Bring a salty snack to share (chips, pretzels, etc.)
Middle School Girls: Bring desserts to share for the weekend
High School Girls: Bring fruit to share for the weekend
Everyone: Bring a 2-liter of pop to share
In addition, we’re looking for a few parents who would be willing to provide a crockpot of mac-n-cheese for Saturday night’s dinner. We’ll heat it up at camp and serve it to the students — this would be a huge help as we prepare food for one of the six meals that weekend!
If you’re planning to provide a crockpot of mac-n-cheese, SIGN UP BY CLICKING THE BUTTON BELOW:
MAC-N-CHEESE SIGN-UP
👉 Students whose parents provide mac-n-cheese do not need to bring any other snack or 2-liter.
Thank you so much for your help — we couldn’t make weekends like this happen without you!
