ALF 2025 Youth Retreat

If you are a grade 7 to 12 youth, we welcome you to join us in Virden, MB from October 24th to 26th to explore the history of the United Church in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the United Church of Canada.

Make friends with other youth from across the United Church’s Prairie to Pine Region while exploring the theme through Worship, Song, and Inter-active Theme Times.  The retreat wouldn’t be complete without social time — dancing, games, chatting over meals (and canteen treats)! …and then rolling out your sleeping bag on a church floor to dream sweet dreams surrounded by new and old friends resting up for another busy exciting day!

The retreat is planned by young people for young people.

Invite your friends, neighbours, cousins (the ones you see often and the ones you would like to see more often!)
