So many great things happened this past weekend at Qwanoes!

On Friday night we had three events kick off at the same time!

Young Adults Retreat – The retreat was a partnership of Qwanoes and “Ethos” the Young Adults ministry of Coquitlam Alliance church. Anticipation for the weekend had been building for weeks and then it was finally here! As the buses rolled-in the fireworks went off and the music was pumping from the qrok tower! What a great start to the weekend! “Jonny Mo” (Jon Morrison) was the speaker for the weekend and he did a great job!  So many great things happened on the retreat from activities like the “Sky Scraper” to great food and fellowship on our Sky Deck. One of the highlights on the weekend was on the last night of the retreat when everyone made their way down to a special mug-up at the qrok tower – smores, cinnamon buns and hot chocolate! After filling up on mug-up we went down to the campfire for some great worship, skits and sharing about what God is doing in our lives. What a fantastic weekend!

CIT Training – The first CIT (Counselor In Training)  event launched on Friday night! It was a fun weekend of learning the ropes in the challenge course! Many had the opportunity to belay someone up the climbing tower or send someone down the “Screamer”! The weekend was also full of tasty mug-up times and deep training and sharing times on the role of a CIT during the summer. Thanks to all our CIT’s who came out and we look forward to having you back soon!

Counselor Training Seminar – The third event of the weekend was a seminar for a group of 2010 counselors! The seminar covered topics from leading evening cabin devotions to tips on being a great camp counselor. The excitement is building every day as we get closer and closer to our first camp of the summer. We can’t wait to have all our campers here soon!

We are looking forward to the Family Retreat coming up this weekend! Stay tuned!

Coming up next!
