Join us for Yuletide!
We are so excited for our Sr High Yuletide Retreat this year! It’s always a good time on the hill, and we want you to know that you will always find joy in the community we create at Guthrie Grove.
Please join us over the new year and celebrate together. If your year has been tough, or your year has been good, or you just need a little break from all that currently surrounds you… we welcome you all to come together as children of God and the teachings of Jesus to shout Hallelujah Anyway! Let’s face whatever this year has in store for us together!
Cost (for Yuletide Retreat): $100.00 per person (the cost is actually $135.00 per person, but after each camper receives a $35.00 scholarship from their Mission Center, it reduces the cost down to $100.00 per person – some congregations will also help with costs to attend the Retreat, but it is up to each camper’s family to contact their local Congregational Financial Officer or Pastor to arrange for that financial assistance).
**** Annual SIT Training is also being offered in conjunction with Yuletide as an optional event for those wishing to become Community of Christ Registered Children and Youth Workers. This class is offered for those with interest in potentially being staff at future camps as well as for those with interest in working with children or youth in Community of Christ. If you are interested in taking this class, it will be held at Guthrie Grove prior to Yuletide with arrival at 10AM Dec. 29th through 7PM Dec. 30th. The cost is $25. You can register for the SIT Training by checking the box below in the Yuletide registration form. You will also need to download the “Registered Children & Youth Worker Application” form below and bring the completed application to the SIT Training on Dec. 29th.
