IRETREAT Weekend Provides Chance to Grow The Senior High retreat was a weekend for growing closer to each other and to God. Everyone met at the school building and then went to camp Tahkodah. Some people rode on the bus and others drove their cars. Camp Tahkodah was the perfect place for a retreat. It gave students relief from school and a chance to worship God and observe His beauty in the world around them. As soon as everybody arrived Saturday, cabins were set in order. Then , a cleva-' tional was held and instructions were given about what to do and where we could go . Soon everyone was active , either playing softball , volleyball, or just fishing. Twinkies and Big K were served for a mid-afternoon snack, before the campers tried to climb up the muddy bluff. Greg Henderson delivered the traditional "Sermon on the Mount. " Afterwards , the 300 Retreat chorus members stayed on top of the bluff to sing praise to God. Meanwhile everyone else went down to start the weiner roast. At dark students gathered in the gym to watch several Laurel and Hardy movies. Then smores and hot chocolate were served before the devotional and candle ceremony led by Brad Altman. Then it was lights out. In the morning breakfast was served at 8:00_ A thirty-minute quiet time followed breakfast, in which students went off by themselves to read their Bibles. Church was held in the gym. Atterwards, the camp grounds were c1eane<\. up by the student body. Then Kentucky Fried Chicken was served for lunch after which everyone packed.
