Updated information and Early-bird Pricing

Great news!

Due to some logistical changes, we are excited to announce that until January 21, we will have an early-bird discount of $500! This event was initially intended for adults, but is also open to mature youth who are willing to have meaningful discussion and limit technology use to that which is contributing to the nature of the event.

Just a brief summary of what you can expect:
-Airport pick-up and drop-off to and from the retreat location
-Trips to Gettysburg, Susquehanna PA, Palmyra (among others TBD*)
-Nature immersion experiences
-Discussions
-Service
-Simulations
-Presentations
-Skill strengthening exercises to hone those "Crust" skills (please read "The Core and Crust of Leadership" at this link)

Overall, it will be a meaningfully connected series of events and time for reflection surrounding the following questions.
-What does my personal pursuit of happiness look like and is it working?
-What keeps me, my family or society in bondage and how can we become more free?
-How do I work and what am I working on right now?  Does it need tweaking?
-How is my relationship with God and how can it be improved?
-How am I preparing myself to be the leader God intended me to be?
-What does my "society" look like and what kind of responsibility do I have in it?

Through historical, modern and personal examples, participants will have the opportunity to synergize on these topics that are central to our lives.  Activities are organized to allow you time and opportunity to deepen your understanding of God's view of these issues in your life and strengthen your commitment to follow His will.

It will be an amazing experience as you review the lessons God has been teaching you in your life until now and gain possible direction and inspiration for the days to come.  A true time of renewal.

If you are interested in attending, please note the "application" in the tab above that must be filled out and submitted before you may attend.  It is limited to 15 participants at this time.  Please also note the January 21 deadline of the early-bird discount, after which the price will return to its $550 price.

If you are going to attend and provide your own transportation to the event, the price of the event is $150 and is open until the spaces are filled or April 1st, whichever comes sooner.**

*There are many possible areas of historic and inspiring interest in the area: Underground Railroad locations, Amish country, Susan B. Anthony's home, historic Philedelphia.  The exact itinerary will be determined once I have a final count of everyone coming and personal preferences.  Please note areas of interest in the neighboring area that we might consider including in our itinerary on your application in the relevant area.  
Please note that this is not meant to be an all-encompassing canvassing of the historical areas of interest in the area but that they are going to be used to strengthen our connections to the principles we will be discussing.

**Independent airport pick-up is available for $25 if separate from the event organization airfare and must be arranged ahead of time.
