JYM-JHYM Annual Sixth Grader Retreat 2013 
At Westport Friends Meeting
 March 1-3, 2013

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!)

Parents: Please be sure to read additional and important information that details this retreats content and discussions at http://jymretreats.org/JYM%20Menu%20Pages/annual_sixth_graders_retreat%20info.htm Thanks!

Note: If registering a second 6th grade child for the retreat, there's no need to complete two forms. Just scroll to the bottom and add a second child's info in the "Guest Box." Thanks!
