The Campion girls enjoyed a fun-filled weekend on campus, learning how God can help with anxiety and relaxing with friends. The retreat was especially unique as there was no one else on campus, providing the girls with a peaceful and intimate environment.
They received special devotionals focused on anxiety and Bible characters who had to overcome their own struggles with it. The retreat began with activities on Center Campus. Kylee Hart, a freshman village student, shared, "I had so much fun painting with my friends on Friday. It was a great way to start the retreat." As the sun set, the girls gathered for their first session in the chapel. Tenisha Tavares-Kincaid led the afternoon program, sharing the story of Esther, and how she had to go against expectations in order to save her people. They welcomed the Sabbath with praise music around a campfire, complete with s’mores and hot chocolate. Sabbath morning allowed the girls to sleep in before enjoying a leisurely brunch together. Later, they separated into their halls for a devotional time, where they discussed their personal experiences with anxiety and explored what the Bible says about it. In the evening, the girls attended a tea party in the Ad Building, followed by a Q&A panel where they had the opportunity to ask questions. The panelists, Jessica Rios, Tenisha Tavares-Kincaid, Erin Johnson, Shannon Brown, and Naomi Fernández, provided thoughtful and encouraging answers. "I enjoyed the girls' retreat so much. My favorite part would definitely be the panel. All the serious and fun questions that were asked and answered were so helpful, and it was just a fun time to listen!" said Pam Lah, a junior student. The night ended with games of sardines and a fashion show. Each hall chose someone to dress up for different categories, and judges voted on the best outfits. The weekend wrapped up with a trip to Fort Fun on Sunday, where the girls enjoyed go-karting, mini-golf, and laser tag. “My main goal for this retreat was to bring the girls closer together and to have fun. We enjoyed having a slower-paced weekend and just enjoying our time together. Sometimes with all the school activities, we get tired of constantly doing things. This was a great break. I’m glad the girls had a great relaxing weekend,” Phoebe Wullur, president of the girls club. Vashty Segovia Santos

The Boy’s Club went camping at Glacier View Ranch this past weekend to bond as friends. Their camp was aimed at having fun, playing games, hiking and worshiping God.
They arrived at the camp on Friday evening to set their tents up, and at night they had vespers. On Sabbath morning the deans prepared Sabbath School for them, and they sang worship songs. Keaton Drake, senior, briefly commented on their time worshiping together, “ I was a little stressed to set it up and perform, but at the end of the day it was fun to perform to my peers and see them get involved and praise the Lord together.” The boys mentioned they had a lot of fun as they spent time with each other. Tiago Ferreira, junior, said “My favorite part was hiking with my friends and taking pictures on the top of a mountain because it was challenging and fun.” Christian Zeru, talked about some of the activities they did while in the mountains; “It was pretty fun playing spike ball, eating s’mores and exploring with my friends.” Rodolfo Segawa, Student Editor |
