ATTENTION YOUNG ADULTS!
Do you remember those magical summer weeks at Camp OCA when you were a kid? The thrill of night games under the stars, the deep bonds formed around campfires, and those pivotal moments of spiritual growth where you first encountered Christ's love in a profound way? As we've transitioned into young adulthood—navigating careers, relationships, and life's complexities—it's easy to feel that connection to our Christian community fade. But what if you could recapture that joy, renew your spirit, and rebuild those foundational relationships all in one transformative weekend?
We're excited to invite you to the third annual ReBoot Young Adult Retreat at Camp OCA in August! Tailored for young adults in their 20s and 30s (ages 18-40ish), this weekend is designed to help you "Be Transformed" by living according to the Spirit, drawing from Romans 12:2: "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."
Imagine stepping back onto those familiar 50 acres of beautiful Ontario wilderness, but this time with no cleanup duties or chores—just pure relaxation, fun, and fellowship. Here's what makes ReBoot so special:
- Nostalgic Fun Without the Work: Dive into games and epic night games just like when we were kids, but with the freedom to unwind and enjoy every moment. All meals are provided from Friday supper to Sunday lunch, so you can focus on what matters most.
- Powerful Teaching and Spiritual Renewal: Led by the insightful Pastor Andy Parisien, with assistance from Peter Ejtel, you'll experience excellent Bible-based sessions on living by the Spirit, overcoming the flesh, and walking in God's truth. Don't miss the special Saturday evening session with guest speaker Shawn Shemavonian on "Battle for the Mind"—a compelling exploration of the spiritual warfare we face daily. Drawing from key scriptures like Romans 12:2, 1 Peter 5:8, and Ephesians 4:22-24, Shawn will outline the three enemies (Satan, the World, and the Flesh) that seek to captivate our thoughts through fiery darts of Doubt, Division, and misplaced Devotion. He'll equip you with three keys to victory: Resist the devil through faith and watchfulness, Renew your mind with God's Word, and Replace toxic habits with godly ones, transforming your thinking and aligning it with Christ's will for lasting spiritual growth.
- Community and Connection: Reconnect with friends from previous ReBoot years and form new lifelong bonds with fellow believers. It's a safe space to share stories, pray together, and grow in discipleship, helping you rebuild that sense of belonging in Christ's body.
- Tons of Fun with Lasting Impact: Expect a perfect blend of adventure, laughter, and spiritual depth—celebrating Christ as our Lord and Savior while facing young adult challenges head-on. Whether you've drifted from community or just need a recharge, ReBoot is your opportunity for hope, transformation, and renewed purpose.
With only 60 spots available, this intimate retreat fills up fast! The cost is just $90, covering everything you need for an unforgettable weekend. Check-in starts at 6:00 PM on Friday, and we'll wrap up by 2:00 PM on Sunday.
