Mennonite Jr. High Retreat
September 27-28, 2024
Join Jr. High groups from area Mennonite and Brethren churches for two days of worship and fun! Experience great games and camp activities, enjoy time with friends, and more!
2024 Theme: TBD
Speaker: Tyler Goss
Music: Seth Crissman
Lodging will be in rustic cabins. Cabin assignments will keep youth groups together (by gender), and two adults will be assigned to each cabin. Cabins are not climate-controlled, so pack for the weather.
Registration and payment for the retreat is to be done through your church group, not on an individual basis. Contact your youth leaders to find out what your church is doing.
General Information
Info for leaders
Leaders from each church group are expected to:
- Complete the registration form for your group (below) by Monday, September 9 to let us know your church is participating. A $228 deposit should be sent to Highland when you sign up.
- Send a group roster before Tuesday, September 17, including notes on any dietary restrictions for anyone in your group. Your groups' numbers are considered final after Monday, September 23.
- Collect completed information and consent forms from your youth.
- Collect medical forms from your youth and look after any health needs during the retreat. (Here's a sample form you can use if your church doesn't have their own.)
- Bring enough sponsors so that youth of each gender are well supervised. Feel free to collaborate with other church groups!
- Pay the balance for your group at the time of the retreat (a total of $57 per person covers food, lodging, and activities). To streamline the process of paying during check-in at Highland, we request that each church group presents ONE final payment to Highland for the balance of their retreat bill; any payments you collect from individuals in your group should go to your church or to a group representative who can then pass the total along in a lump sum to Highland.

Please include your best estimates of the number of people who will be in your group. A more specific roster can be sent to info@highlandretreat.org closer to the event.
