There is only room for 130 people at this venue, so it is vey important that you get your numbers into Brian ASAP to ensure that there is sufficient space reserved for your group.
Groups are also asked to bring and present (to Brian upon arrival) only one cheque from their group (for $110 Canadian per person) made out to "Camp Medeba", one "Master Registration Form", as well as all the registration/permission forms from each of your youth and leaders that are attending the retreat.
Registration this year can be done by phone, email, or fax (contact info is included on the downloadable - soon - "Leader's Information Letter"). To reserve spots for your group Brian will need to know how many people are coming, names and gender of each person and whether they are a youth (student) or leader. Please do not reserve spots for spaces you are not sure you will need, register the ones you know and add more later. Remember we have limited space this year and registration is first come first serve.
Our speaker this year will be Peter Kentie. Peter is a gifted youth pastor with a heart for God. He was youth pastor at Port Colborne Brethern in Christ church and Director of Niagara Youth Camp in Fort Erie for many years. He was also Director of Youth Camp at Camp Kaquah for many years. Peter is now working for Urban Promise in Toronto where he will be helping run missions trips for teens working to share the gospel with children in Urban Communities.
Our worship time will be led by Tim Amor and his band. Tim will be familiar to many of you. In addition to recently doing an amazing job leading worship at the Jr High retreat, Tim grew up at Pineland Baptist Church and has been a worship leader and counsellor at Camp Bonnechere.
Please be in prayer for all those who are involved in this retreat including Peter (the speaker), Tim (and his band), Brain (and his retreat team), and of course for all those that will attend. We look forward to what God has in store for us this year. See you at "Muskoka"!!

About the Schedule: We have built in a small group time at the end of each session so that you can get together with your youth to pray and discuss what Peter has shared with us. Please be prepared to direct your youth to a meeting spot for small group time. Also, this schedule is tentative and subject to change due to weather, acts of God, alien invasions, mood swings or the capricious whims of the planning team.

Please write to us with you testimonials and feedback with regards to how you felt Muskoka went last year as well as the ways in which God is working in your life. We hope to hear from you soon.
