Join us Nov. 4-5 for the 6th grade retreat, a one-night trip offered to help build fellowship and community among their class. Just a quick drive to Asheboro’s Camp Caraway, students and leaders participate in a variety of team building activities and games as well as campfire, devotions, and small group activities. We will leave at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday morning traveling by vans, and depart Camp Caraway at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday morning to return to Raleigh. Camp Caraway will provide most of our meals, youth are responsible for a fast food lunch on Sunday on the way home. Trip cost of $150 includes transportation, meals, and all activities. Register by Thursday, Oct. 5 via this link. Scholarship is available for all Christ Church youth trips upon request. Contact Kate Keenan via kkeenan@ccral.org with any questions.
