A Typical Day onHigh School Beach Retreat
 This year's High School Beach Retreat is in Orange Beach, Alabama. This family resortis as nice as you would expect for your personal vacation. While on Beach Retreat, you will stay in a condominium with 6 to 8 high school students. They will be yourresponsibility!What will you do all week in Orange Beach? Every day begins with Silent Sounds on thebeach. The students and leaders receive a camp booklet for the week that includes dailydevotionals. All the kids and adults spread out on the beach so that everyone is alone.With Bible and notebook in hand, each person spends 30 minutes reading Bible verses,answering questions in their notebook, and praying. It is quite a sight to see hundredsof High School students and their leaders spread out as far as the eye can see readingtheir Bibles and praying! After Silent Sounds is Breakfast, and then morning classesthat cover a bunch of issues that face students these days. Each group has lunch intheir own condo. Students and condo leaders often invite other condos to join them forlunch. After lunch, we have condo clean up time. Students must make sure theircondo is always clean; a surprise inspection could come at any time! The afternoon is Free Time for the kids. They have a choice of swimming in the pool,playing tennis, hanging out at the beach, playing sand volleyball, and more. We haveadults supervise swimming at the pool and at the beach. During free time, you will havepool duty, lifeguard duty or shuttle bus duty. You also will personally meet with yourkids one by one throughout the week to talk about their relationships with Christ.Much of your "free time" will be accounted for, but when you’re not on duty, have fun!After free time and some time to clean up, we head to the beach for evening SilentSounds. Then we load up the buses and head to dinner and our evening worshipservice. The services begin with music led by a great worship band and end with astrong message by our pastor, Dr. Young. He deals with hard-hitting topics such ashow to become a Christian, self-image, submitting to authority, repentance, andforgiveness. After the service, we head back to the condos to get ready for bed!
