Encounter Retreat's primary focus is that of the spiritual development of our youth. Church and Organizational Youth groups from various parts of Pennsylvania have gathered together for the past several years to fellowship, play games, and most importantly learn more about our Lord Jesus Christ and to help build relationships between the fellow Christians that attend but most importantly between God and the youth.
At the Retreat there are focused sessions with the speaker, worship music, Games, Food, Cabin Devotions, and of course Fun & Fellowship.
The Retreat is held once a year over a weekend in January.
After several years at Pinebrook, and 12 years at Camp Joy El, Encounter Retreat will take place at Camp Hebron beginning in 2012.
