Junior High Winter Retreat

Each winter, our junior high students head north to Camp Timber-lee in East Troy, WI, for a Winter Retreat! The weekend is filled with worship, small group discussions, snow activities, and plenty of time to hang out with friends. Timber-lee offers broomball, karaoke, a game room, cross-country skiing, tubing, tobogganing, and ice skating, and more!

This is a wonderful time for our junior high youth to gain independence, grow in faith, and just have fun!

tnt - Teens in Training

TNT is a summer leadership experience for rising 8th and 9th graders. Students serve as leaders and teachers’ assistants during our week-long Vacation Bible School (VBS). After a morning of working with the VBS children, TNT students eat lunch and go on an outing together each afternoon. Past excursions have included Raging Waves, Feed My Starving Children, and Millennium Park in the past.

Students entering 8th and 9th grade in the fall are welcome to apply for TNT in the spring for a limited number of positions. Students with previous First Pres involvement will be given priority.
