LIT for Social Justice Youth Retreat

 Are you intrigued and inspired by these ideas? Are you a young person in the Battle Creek area who will be entering grades 9-12? If so, we invite you to join us at our annual youth retreat. This summer, we will be using the film The Hunger Games as a lens to critically examine these themes in our own society and learn how to take action.

August 20 – 6-9 p.m.  Dinner and a movie at First Congregational Church, meet other youth and adult mentors, receive camp t-shirts.

August 21-22 – 9:00 a.m. Monday – 5:00 p.m. Tuesday.  Overnight retreat at Sherman Lake, including workshops, meals, and activities like swimming, basketball, volleyball and a campfire.
