Mennonite Jr. High Retreat

October 20-21, 2023

Join Jr. High groups from area Mennonite churches for two days of worship and fun! Experience great games and camp activities, enjoy time with friends, and more!

2023 Theme: Reassurance
Speaker: Noah 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 25 to let us know your church is participating.
  • Send Highland a $220 deposit and a group roster before Tuesday, October 10. Your groups' numbers are considered final after Monday, October 16.
  • 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 $55 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.

Group Registration Form:

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.
