WINTER CONNECT RETREAT 2026

UPDATE: Winter Retreat Ending Saturday at 6:45PM


Due to the forecasted weather, the Winter Retreat at Camp Mantowagan will be happening on a condensed schedule, ending Saturday evening after dinner.


Check-in & Pickup

  • Check-in at the Dining Hall will still begin Friday at 6:00 PM.
  • The retreat will now end after dinner Saturday at 6:45 PM.
  • NOTE: To help avoid congestion during dinner, we are asking that you wait until 6:45 PM to pick up your student, if possible.


Friday Evening Food

Please note that we will have a snack on Friday night, but no dinner, so plan accordingly.


Late Arrivals:

  • Students arriving late on Friday should arrive no later than 11:30 PM and check in with Pastor Ryan in the Dining Hall.
  • Students arriving Saturday morning may arrive any time after 8:30 AM. Breakfast begins at 9:00 AM and morning chapel begins at 9:45 AM.

While we’re disappointed to shorten the retreat, we’re thankful we’re still able to spend time worshiping, learning from God’s Word, and being together this weekend.
