Fall Youth Retreat: Nov. 17th - 19th, 2023
Join us for our annual Fall Youth Retreat this November! Each year youth gather together from across Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio for a weekend of rest and fall fun at Pyoca. Youth will gather for keynotes and worship each day, meet new friends through small group sessions, and have plenty of time to explore all that Pyoca has to offer. Throughout the day on Saturday afternoon youth will get to choose from a number of activities, including: high ropes, hiking to Mt. Baldy, climbing tower, crafts, and more, plus plenty of free time to hang out and connect with new and old friends. Saturday afternoon we are hosting a Camp Carnival and at night we'll come together for a concert by keynote speaker David LaMotte, followed by our Fall Fest, complete with a bonfire, hotdog and s'more roast, games, and after dark wagon rides through the forestry. Registration is now open. We can't wait to see you in November! To learn more about this event and how to register, see information below.SATURDAY CONCERT:

RETREAT THEME: Love Thy NeighborThis fall we will be exploring what it means to be a Christian in an interfaith world. We'll ask, "How do we live, love, and lead like Jesus and support those who may believe differently than we do?" David LaMotte will guide us through these and other questions, along with an interfaith panel hosted at camp on Saturday morning. Join us as we seek to follow Jesus's commandment to Love Thy Neighbor.
