Fall Youth Retreat: Nov. 18th - 20th, 2022
Join us for our annual Fall Youth Retreat this November! Each year youth gather together from across Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio for a weekend of rest and fall fun at Pyoca. Youth will gather for keynotes and worship each day, meet new friends through small group sessions, and have plenty of time to explore all that Pyoca has to offer. Throughout the day on Saturday afternoon youth will get to choose from a number of activities, including: high ropes, hiking to Mt. Baldy, climbing tower, crafts, and more, plus plenty of free time to hang out and connect with new and old friends. Saturday afternoon we are hosting a Camp Carnival and at night our Fall Fest, complete with a bonfire, hotdog and s'more roast, games, after dark wagon rides through the forestry, and a hoedown with line dancing. Full schedule coming soon! Registration will open on Monday, Sept. 5th at 8:00AM EST. We can't wait to see you in November!

THEME: This year's theme is centered around PC(USA)'s Matthew 25 initiative. Matthew 25 is a vision for the whole church, including our youth and camp and retreat centers, so we are excited to partner with First Pres. Bloomington, First Pres. Columbus, and Fairlawn Pres. as we plan this amazing weekend retreat for our youth to dive into the mission and vision of the church. More information, including worship and keynote leadership, coming soon! MEET OUR SPEAKER: Coming soon! MEET OUR WORSHIP LEADER: Coming soon!
