Students who have participated in the EcuCamp experience have repeatedly reported how much their lives have been changed in a positive way. Because it is difficult for students to get a chance to attend a weeklong event that only happens once in a busy summer-- we’ve decided to bring “the EcuCamp experience,” on the road, to YOU.

Imagine a two day retreat in your town, bringing 7th through 12th graders together from different parts of town, different churches, from different ethnic backgrounds-- all to focus on being the Church, together-- in unity. It can happen in your community.

Here’s how:

• KCC Supplies the Retreat Leader.
• Participating Congregations Supply One Chaperone for Every Six Participants (7th through 12th grade).
• Chaperones Will also Serve as Small-Group Leaders.
• KCC supplies the Entire Experiential Curriculum.
• The first Unity Trek will be Held in Lexington from 10am on Dec. 27 through 8pm on Dec. 28, 2006 (participants will be able to sleep).
• Will Your Congregation Provide the Host Site for Your City?

We can only do a few of these events each year, so call the Kentucky Council of Churches’ office today to make sure we get to your city when your young people can participate.

This is not just a big party for playtime only-- there will be time for fun and fellowship, but it will also involve a very engaging, experiential program for ecumenical and spiritual formation.

Call Chris at 859-269-7715 or e-mail wcbs@kycouncilofchurches.org for more information about how your 7th through 12th grade students in your area can participate in this new retreat opportunity.
