The PMC Youth Department has planned its first ever Young Adult Campout Retreat!
We love camp, so why not gather, spend time in nature, share our faith, participate in activities, and enjoy the beauty of God’s creation in nature as we disconnect from the noise and distractions of daily life.
The Fall Retreat is for young adults age between the ages of 18-35, who will be okay sleeping outdoors (just one night, folks) under the stars!
We have two bath/shower houses (new) that will be available for guests. We also have platforms tents (cots) or you can pitch your own tent.
The registration fee for this event is $25 and you’ll need to register on www.adminicamp.com, no later than Friday, October 25, 2024.
WE ARE HERE FOR IT!

Julio and Jasmine Archila were first drawn to The Salvation Army through its music program, but they soon discovered a welcoming community and a deep sense of purpose. Today, they both use their musical talents and passion for service to inspire others.

"I love the family atmosphere here," says Julio. "Everyone was so welcoming and accepting of us both from the start."

Jasmine adds, "The Army’s intentional ministry is what appeals to me. I love that there are so many ways to serve people."
