Friday we will settle in, craft, and get oriented. Three workshop periods will be offered Saturday in which participants can select between a couple options. Sunday will include project wrap up, wild church, and an optional trip to a waterfall. Additional activities throughout include a bonfire, game station, water play, protest sign creation, talent show, shared meals, and wild church. We look forward to celebrating the prophesies of children together!
