God designed creation perfectly in His image, made to know Him and live in His goodness. Humanity was designed to be rooted in God’s goodness, grounded in His love, truth, and guidance. However, as a result of humanity’s sin, mankind is broken and has rooted their lives in sources other than the Gospel of Jesus. This not only hurts others, but also themselves. Although nobody signs up for trials, God is not only with us in the midst of them but has a purpose behind them. At Winter Retreat 2025, we will unpack the beauty of being rooted in God’s love to weather the storms of life for our good and His glory.

Common Q & A:
Can a student drive themselves to the retreat?
Yes. However, once a student checks in they will not be allowed to leave until the end of the retreat unless a parent contacts Noah Peak or Lisa Radke and gives permission. If a student leaves without their parent contacting us, they will be unable to return for the remainder of the retreat.
What if a student can only make it to part of the retreat?
We strongly discourage students coming and going unless it’s for prior commitments they cannot get out of. The retreat is designed for students to experience both days. Please discuss this with Noah Peak or Lisa Radke before signing up.
If a student needs to leave for part of the retreat, do we have to pay the whole $55?
Yes, the cost is still $55. In most circumstances, we do not offer partial retreat costs. Please discuss with Noah Peak or Lisa Radke if you have questions.
Are there scholarships available for students/families who cannot afford the cost?
Yes. We never want money to be the barrier for students to attend our events. Please contact Noah Peak or Lisa Radke to discuss scholarships.
Where will students sleep?
We will have various rooms in the church with at least 2 leaders in each area. There are no beds at CFC, so we will encourage students to bring sleeping bags or an air mattress.
If my student wants to attend the retreat, but they don’t want to ice skate, is it still the same cost?
Yes. There will be very few exceptions. If there is an injury or specific reason why a student cannot participate, please discuss with Noah Peak or Lisa Radke.
When will we receive the packing list?
There will be a packing list emailed to parents 2 weeks prior to the retreat.
