TEENS UNPLUGGED RETREAT
Do you have what it takes to survive?
Life is a battle, and some of us wear the scars to prove it. From the words being spoken toward us or around us, to the things we see and hear in school, to events taking place in the news today, to recurring memories of rejection or broken promises, to the struggle to live out the Christian life in a world that increasingly hates what we stand for, the real-life trials and challenges we face every day can inflict terrible pain that has the potential to leave us walking away limping, if we even walk away from it at all.
This January, unplug from the everyday routine of life and plug into what God's Word says about us, our world, and the trials that every one of us must face. You are not alone. Reconnect with friends from across Florida with struggles just like you and even connect with new friends. Most of all, spend some time focusing on your Creator, pursuing who He specifically designed you to be, and equipping yourself to not just go back to fight life's battles but to WIN.
There will be times of worship, sessions to help you strengthen your walk with Christ, group games, a team Survivor competition, and even some free time. Ask your parents, sign up, and plan to join us for a memorable 2025 CYIA™ Unplugged retreat!
Registration fees will be collected by your local CEF chapter office after your online registration forms are complete. For more information, please contact your local CEF chapter office directly.
1 Peter 1:6-7 ESV
In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
