Tekoa Youth Pastor Retreat

Each year, Camp Tekoa hosts a Youth Pastor Retreat in March!

Join us for fellowship, fun, rest, renewal, good food, and spiritual enrichment.  This is a great opportunity to meet other youth pastors, share, bond, learn, play, and support each other at a retreat with other people doing the same type of ministry as you.  You've planned and led lots of retreats for others.  This retreat is planned just for you!  Come and join us!
