Do you need another option to the whole weekend retreat?

• Do you have youth that have never been to a District retreat and are hesitant?
• Do you have 6^th graders who have hung back from participating or 5^th graders you want to introduce?
• Are you a church without a youth group but you have a one or a few youth who want to try out a district event?
• Are you saving for a mission trip and can’t afford the retreat too?
• Are some of your youth too busy to give a whole weekend, but they still want to participate?

Then try our first “Big Day Out”!
