For the first time ever, this year's Jr. High Retreat will feature: you!  Yes we are holding our first ever Talent Show, were you get to show your weirdest, wackiest talents.  It could be a skit, a song, a magic act or even a puppet show.  We want you to be as creative and interesting as a possible!  Be sure to bring any music or intruments you'd need for your act with you to the retreat.  We'll provide a drum kit, a keyboard, as well as amps both bass and guitar.  In order to let you practice and get ready, we're also going to have the Jam Room during all Options times on the schedule.  Your act should be limited to no more then 3 minutes, so if your doing a song please pick your favorite verse (you can't do them all).  Tryouts will be held in the afternoon on Saturday so be sure to sign up and get ready to entertain us!

*Students, be sure to check with your leaders before hand if your going to be bringing any larger instruments or equipment.*

Joining us again this year are the breakdancin' fools Jeff and Charity!  We've loved having the Gorings around to dance, hang out, teach us about graffiti and street art and just because, well they're awesome.  Jeff and Charity run Sonz of God a street clothing line and dance group and they have traveled all over the world sharing the gifts and their lives with young people.  "...Sonz of God is more then just street fashion. It involves quality creative artist, designers, dancers, breakers and people who really are about changing, affecting and influencing this world for Christ."  They're always willing to hangout, show you some moves or just talk.  They'll be doing a workshop as well as preforming in our sessions and in the hallways.

We know that this year, Jr. High Retreat is going to better then ever!  We're taking things to a whole new level this year, and one major change is our location.

Located in Richmond Hill, Ontario the Sheraton Parkway Hotel is an awesome new home for the Jr. High Retreat.  With great rooms, pools, hot tubs, greats spaces for us to create our own activities there's no shortage of things to do. Maybe the best feature of the hotel is the fact that no longer will we have to sit in buses all weekend (yay!) as everything is on site at the hotel!

The Grand Richmond Ballroom will be our home for music, sessions and great big activities.  This allows us to craft an interactive, exciting atmosphere never seen/heard/smelt ever before at Jr. High Retreat.
