A New Annual Tradition is Born

From January 27 to 29, 2012, Blaze traveled to the mountains of Goshen, Va for the annual youth retreat. After years of attending the annual retreat in Blackstone, Va the District chose the Rockbridge Young Life Camp. Our youth had a great time being involved in many activities which included listening to wonderful speakers, attending concerts held by the Keith Elgin Band, rock climbing, a giant swing, football, basketball, frisbee golf, and a game room with ping pong, foosball and pool. The temperature was in the mid 40s during the day, but it felt quite a bit cooler than that. The evenings felt very cold, but the clear star filled skies made up for the cold. It looks like one of our youth received a broken nose playing football, but with that one exception everyone returned safely home. We stopped at Cracker Barrel on the way home.
