WINDY GAP
MIDDLE SCHOOL RETREAT 2014
Windy Gap is just around the corner and we are very excited about it. On Wednesday, the 20th of August, the
entire Middle School is going to load up on buses and head to Windy Gap, a Young Life camp outside of
Weaverville, NC. We will begin boarding the buses Wednesday morning at 8:15. We will spend
Wednesday and Thursday nights, and return by 3:00 pm on Friday, August 22. All meals are provided
while at the retreat.
All medications to be taken while on the trip must be turned over to a teacher at the buses prior to leaving. Mrs.
Waz will have an area established for the purpose of collecting meds. A teacher or parent chaperone will be
responsible for administering all prescription/daily medications at the appropriate times while at Windy Gap.
Also, a registered nurse has been secured by Covenant Day Middle School to oversee any routine aches and
pains, accidents or emergencies.
Please pray for God’s provision as we continue preparations for this retreat. Pastor Greg King from Five Stones
Church will be our retreat speaker for the week. Pray for Pastor King as he prepares messages for our students
and pray for the works and wonders that God has prepared for us while on the retreat.
