SKY LODGE CHRISTIAN CAMP

September 23-25, 2022

You Are Invited to THRIVE!

You are invited to...Thrive!

All women are welcome to a weekend of THRIVING together! 
We will take time to pause, and lean into the scriptures that remind us how God invites us to THRIVE in life. The weekend will be full of moments to connect with God and each other.  Jesus wants to draw us into his presence, and allow us to THRIVE. Learn to listen for the voice of God, rest in his presence, and be reminded how he wants to protect us. 

I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

John 10:10b  NIV

Note - Nursing Mothers:

We desire and welcome your participation. You may bring your nursing infant with you if you are using off-site or camper park lodging options. This invitation includes nursing babies only and carries with it the understanding that crying/noisy babies will be taken out of the session.

Thrive Stretch and Refresh

Kristin Bauder

Friday Evening Stretch

A session of gentle stretching and refreshment to renew your body as well as your mind and spirit. Include basic stretches for your muscles which will leave you relaxed, yet ready for the rest of the weekend. Most stretches will be done seated in, or standing behind a chair, and we will also share about how various prayer postures listed in the Bible can help you to stay healthy. Kristin, LAT, ATC, has been teaching stretching to all abilities from athletes to seniors for over twenty-five years, and will include a portion at the end of the session to answer questions about how to stretch any of your achy joints and muscles.
