Our Winter Retreats are ideal for youth groups who want to grow together but also want options.
We have LOTS to do and have built in time for YOUR group to do your own thing. Big Chill makes things EASY for you because it is all planned and ready to go- all you have to do is get the teens here and then enjoy and grow with them. More speaker info and details to come.
