This retreat begins on Friday evening very much like other Retreats. This retreat is cosponsored by JYM and JHYM Retreats. Leadership for this retreat is also shared equally by Gretchen Baker-Smith and Kevin Lee. Because most of the attenders have retreated with one another typically for several years, not to mention Friends Camp connections and Yearly Meeting Sessions, they usually bond immediately with both staff and each other. The exceptionally high staff to child ratio also gives this retreat a particular feeling of closeness, with lots of "chilling" time available for those who want talk about everything and anything.
Foods planned for this retreat are special also. As this is a time of recognition and celebration of their individual lives and moving onward next year, young people also participate in a special "menu selection" for Saturday evening, which runs the gamut be it pizza, Chinese food, Mexican, which is all masterminded by our Supreme Kitchen Goddess Wendyl Ross! (Parents: Please let us know about food allergies, chosen diets, etc, in advance!)
