​

Join us for the second annual Fall WAY Retreat! Young people from parishes in the Wilmington area gather for a weekend of worship, friendship, and fun.

 

Modeled after other Diocesan retreats, the WAY Fall Retreat features:

  • live music and worship

  • competitive team building

  • plenty of time for fellowship

 

Each night and morning we engage in worship:

  • music and liturgy is prepared by WAY leaders

  • bulletins with the weekend liturgy and journaling opportunities are provided to each person 

  • students help facilitate worship as lectors, for readings, and as officiants during liturgy

     

Team building is an important component of the weekend:

  • students are divided into teams for games allowing new friendships to develope

  • games are designed to engage physical and mental abilities to allow each person's talents to shine

  • prizes, like a Chick-fil-a gift card, are awarded to the team who wins the most games/challenges and has the most points for other camp activities​

All meals and snacks provided. Trinity Center is known for excellent meals meeting all dietary restrictions. 

 

Accommodations in the Trinity Center bunk houses which function perfectly for all Diocesan youth retreats.

Do you have a college student connected to St. Andrew’s? 

If you have a child or grandchild in college who has participated in St. Andrew’s children’s or youth ministry, we would love the opportunity to stay connected! Our youth would like to send words of encouragement to our college students, with the possibility of sending college care packages later in the year. 

Our Youth Team.

We are very thankful to the staff and volunteers that help make this ministry happen!
