Summer Youth Get-a-way 2009

Faith • Leadership • Vocation


The 2009 Maryville College Summer Youth Get-a-Way

is an exciting five day retreat that fuses discovering a potential for leadership with exploring the values of Christian faith in a complex world. Upcoming 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students will spend the week contemplating how their gifts might benefit the needs of the world. Students will both get away from their busy lives and experience a way to live out their personal calling.

Leading and Learning.

Team building activities such as a ropes course and a climb up the Mountain Challenge Alpine Tower will sharpen leadership skills while fostering a sense of community. Small discussion groups on issues of faith, leadership, and vocation help to broaden perspectives and promote learning.

Worshiping and Serving.

Worship services led by MC Campus Minister Rev. Anne McKee, a guest musician, and the student campers will feed the spirit while a hike in the Smoky Mountains will evoke the beauty of God’s creation. A group service project will help to turn faith outward as campers begin to live out their calling to serve the world.

Room & Board fees for four nights are $175 per student. Financial aid is available. Tuition and program fees are funded by the Maryville College Initiative on Vocation.

Limited space is available and reservations will be accepted on a first come, first served basis.
