Chaperones

Thank you for so generously offering your time on behalf of the young people attending this retreat. The impact of your presence — your living witness of joy in Christ — cannot be measured!

Testimonial

"My husband attended the Friday and Saturday sessions, but I got the privilege of chaperoning my son and his two friends for the Sunday session. We thought the weekend was presented in a great format. Fast-paced, with plenty of worship time it helps build their relationship with God in a way they can relate to. I would definitely love to be part of next year’s YOUTH 2000!"
