Adult Camps

Adult Camps

Have you ever thought it wasn’t fair that kids got to have all the fun at camp? Well, we’ve done something about that this year! We’ve got something for every adult from post-high school to seniors, over a weekend or for a full week, ranging from a relaxed retreat to a rugged outpost experience and variations in between. Come to camp, and remember what its like to be a kid again!

Adult Weekend

Second Marriages are about hope, happiness and joy.  They are born out of a context of pain and disappintment.  Whereas the church is a community of hope and joy, it has seldom spent much time encouraging or even supporting second marriages, perhaps because it means accepting the pain and disappointment of a first marriage.  This 24 hour retreat seeks to offer support and encouragement for those in a second (or third) marriage, examining church and cultural bias toward the second time around.

In conversation with those who are there, we will explore the inherent difficulties and struggles of marrying again.  We anticipate issues such as; first marriage - failure or enlightenment; Blending the unblendable; Moving in with baggage; Theology of re-marriage; Forgiveness and redemption; as well as others that will arise.

The leaders of this retreat, Carol Myers and Jeff Blackman are married to each other.  Both have divorced, both are pastors of churches - Carol a United Methodist and Jeff a UCC Pastor.  They bring their experiences, their training, their struggles and their hope, happiness and joy to this work.

Adult Week

Let's combine the best memeories of childhood camping days with the desires of an adult get-away.  What do we get?  A week-long adult camping experience at Pilgrim Heights!

Come and bring along a favorite thing to do - and be preapred to share it with someone else!  Whether you knit, kayak, bird watch, read, tell stories, hike, cook or back, wood word or whittle, make the best s'mores around, or just make great conversations - we want you to come!  Enjoy and relax with your favorite things!

Every day will provide some opportunity to explore what our camping theme "Handle with Care" means for you.  We will create green-friendly crafts and projects for the camp or to take home.  Your days will be filled your way - with camping fun and pampering conveniences (meals provided and air conditioning!)

You desve a break - and bring a friend who deserves one, too!
