CYF MID-WINTER
2026 January 2 - 4
7:00 PM Friday to 2:00 PM Sunday
Grades: 9th - 12th
​
This weekend retreat is planned and led by the Regional Youth Cabinet. Campers can expect daily keynotes, small group time, interactive and youth-led worship, a surprise big event, and a fun dance!
​
​​
Our 2026 Mid-Winter retreat theme is: Faith in the Wilderness.
We will explore how to navigate difficult times in our lives and show love to others during these times. We will reflect on how to trust God and grow spiritually when life feels uncertain, painful, and confusing. With a focus on exploring radical love, inclusion, and justice through the teachings of Jesus and what that means for high schoolers today. ​

Claire Lammers
2025 Mid-Winter Director

My name is Claire Lammers, and I am honored to be in my second year as an adult mentor with the Regional Youth Cabinet. This year, I have the privilege of being RYC Moderator and Midwinter Director. As a camper turned director, I am passionate about ensuring that every camper has the opportunity to be their authentic self in a safe and affirming environment.
Looking back, I had many favorite experiences at camp. A few standout moments were cabin times, where I made lifelong friendships, and going through the labyrinth for the first time.
Each year, we welcome youth at different stages of their spiritual journey. Listening to and challenging their interpretations encourages critical thinking and causes them to challenge themselves in other facets of life as they mature in their faith and character.
