WHAT: Winter months can be long without much to look forward to after the holidays. This is an opportunity for adults in their 20s and 30s to experience traditional youth camp experiences but with more freedom. It is an opportunity to enjoy the snowy outdoors, fire side activities, and building community. Whether you are connected to the Pacific Northwest Mennonite Conference, the Mennonite Church of British Colombia, other denominations, or no church at all, you are invited to hang out, invite your friends, participate in group activities, or do your own thing during these days.
