We headed to Camp Tecumseh on Nov 15-16 for a 24-hour retreat. The theme for the weekend was "Dare to Believe." We talked about "risk-taking faith" and looked at stories from the book of Daniel to illustrate the fact that faith in God is a risk, but God is reliable. We also spent a great deal of time just hanging out as a group--doing a low-ropes course, shooting rifles, eating together, playing games, chasing a bat out of the girls' room, playing "ga-ga" (Israeli dodgeball), and generally having a great time together.
The group poses at the "Spider Web" of the low-ropes course. This was a team-building activity that taught us about the need for cooperation, listening, and leadership.

David Beardmore won the "Saturday Archery Contest" with his stellar archery skills. He scored a 37 and beat all other youth archers at the camp on that day.
D'Angelo King and Greyson Eller celebrated birthdays on Sunday (Nov 16) of our retreat. DA turned 13. Greys turned 12.
