For My Life® Kid’s Retreat:
For My Life Kids tuition (Summer Only) – $229 per child for the first two and $129 for each additional.
The For My Life Kid’s Retreat (ages 6-12) is designed to be loads of fun for the children to capture their attention and engage them. The same principles are taught as in the Adult For My Life® Retreat but they are broken down into bite-size pieces that are simple enough for the children to understand. In fact, adults who have assisted in the Kid’s Retreat have said that they got a whole new understanding of the teachings because of the simple, applicable insights that are presented.
Our talented and passionate Team Members endeavor to make this a fun, memorable week for the children. We don’t want this to be a stiff, religious experience, we want them to have so much fun, to make lasting memories and to experience the love of God in a way that they may never have had before. We want them to taste and see that God is good!
This is a safe place for the children. We don’t apply labels, or pretenses; we accept each of them just as they are. All of the children are treated with the same respect, love, care, and compassion. For some of them, it’s the first time that they have ever been treated that way.
Our Team has found great success in teaching and implementing Godly order into the framework of the class. The children are very responsive to the safety and stability that they experience in this environment.
We help them to understand who they are as God’s children and also how to do separation and to be able to recognize that what they do is not who they are. They will begin to understand how the enemy can influence their thoughts to make them think, speak, and act in ways that are not God’s ways.
Our hope is that they will begin to get an understanding of God’s love for them and that they can carry that with them throughout their lives.
The children are all placed in groups with an adult group leader as well as a leadership apprentice who is a local teen from our church body. These teens act as a positive peer influence to lead by example and encouragement so that the children feel inspired to participate.
Some specific things that we do are:
- Mini teachings – Teachings less than 15 minutes presented in a fun, interesting way in order to keep the attention of the children.
- Play for Review – A super high energy, all engaging “game show” where the hosts ask questions about the topics that have been presented and the kids can get involved and have fun reviewing what they’ve just learned.
- Creative skits – The leadership apprentices also do the skits throughout the week that help the children see and understand the physical representation of the information they are receiving. The children can relate on a more personal level because they are familiar with the teens in the skit.
- Games, activities, and crafts.
- Recess – Let’s face it; children need a break every now and again. Here’s their opportunity to play and let off some steam.
All ministry is done together with the parents at the appropriate time. This ensures that the parents can remain involved and cover their children during these impactful prayer times.
Be in Health® is a safe place for you and your children. For many, just being in a safe place can make all the difference. We hope that you and your loved ones will join us in our mission to establish generations of overcomers!
Our team of talented and experienced Overcomers looks forward to this season and to participating with all of the exciting things that God has prepared for the families who come to us. Prepare to be changed and restored into the healthy individuals and the family unit that God designed you to be!
