95 campers, parents, and mentors came to Beechpoint this March for our annual Purity Retreat.  They heard the message of God’s design for dating, relationships, and sex - and were challenged to commit to pure living.  Pray with us that the weekend would remain in their hearts and that they will live out the decisions they made.

Youth from camp’s Leaders in Training program participated in the weekend.

Campers ages 10-18 attend the weekend with a parent or adult mentor.

The retreat ends with a commitment ceremony where campers can choose to make a pledge of purity to God.

“I liked learning about the type of guys that girls want to date.  When I get home I am going to be more of a gentleman, be more respectful, and be cautious when choosing who I date.” – boy, age 13

“This weekend taught my daughter the importance of saving herself for the man God has for her.  I realize the importance of this retreat.  I didn’t have this when I was growing up.” – mother

“I learned that people should keep their lips to themselves.” – girl, age 10

“The best part of the weekend was learning all the new Bible verses and going skating with everybody.  I learned that we need to wait until we are married to have sex and that us girls really give boys something to look at and talk about by the way we dress.” – girl, age 15
