Sometimes life becomes so fast and furious
that we forget to sit back and enjoy the
wonders of nature, to pay attention to
every little detail that our Father puts into
His creation. There is absolutely no better
way to slow down with your children
and share memories (while making new
memories at the same time).

The Father & Child Retreat is an approved

children can spend time together building
positive relationships and where fathers
can learn more about godly fathering.

form with payment (checks payable
to Grace Polaris Church) or sign up at
GracePolaris.org on or before June 22.
The retreat cost is $40 per person if your

Join us July 24–26 at Mohican
Wilderness for a weekend filled with
camping delights and activities. This
retreat is geared toward both fathers and
their children (ages 4–14), and there’s
something for everyone!
Our location will be available to set up
camp on Friday at 10:00 a.m. A retreat
worker will check you in as you arrive. If
you cannot arrive at that time to help set
up, simply stop by the large white tents
and check in. The campgrounds include
hot showers and flush toilets. Families will
bring their own tents.

In accordance with church guidelines, each
father is expected to be responsible for
his children throughout the retreat. At all
times he is expected to be aware of their
