Taking 2018 Applications

The Brethren Retreat is a great place to serve the Lord while being challenged to grow closer in your own relationship with God. Each summer we look forward to seeing how God brings together the next group of young leader. We look for Activity Directors in Crafts, Media, Recreation, Waterfont, Waterfront, & CIT (Counselor In-Training) along with 5 female and 3 male Sr. Counselors. We also look for any number of Jr. Counselors to be here for only a couple weeks out of the summer.  I encourage you to prayerfully consider this as an option for the Summer of 2018.
