For this retreat, we'll spend most of our time in Langley.
Students will have sleep-overs in host homes with their small group and leaders.  
Saturday will include a day trip to Whistler village.

$65/student
Registration is now closed! Contact Ellen at ellenc@nlcc.ca if there are any last minute spots. 

Session Theme: Your Story
We'll be looking at how God is a part of our story, and how our story is actually God's story.  We'll work on our testimonies and explore our faith stories.  This will be especially helpful for students getting baptized on Feb 24.
