FallFest
FallFest - November 20, 2009
Looking for a great way to spend a chilly Fall night in November? Why not join High Point Camp for the first annual FallFest? FallFest 2009 is going to be a jam-packed night of fun that you and your youth group absolutely cannot miss.

FallFest 2009 has something for everyone. Jump into our giant boxing ring with a friend and swing for the knockout. Try to soak the annoying guy in the dunk tank. See if your allergies kick in on our nighttime hayride. Roast a hotdog or make a s'more at the bonfire. Grab a sledge hammer and see how much pain you can inflict on a Chevy Cavalier. Jump into our Sumo wrestling suits and throw your weight around. See if you can figure out the secrets behind Peter Pitchford's street and stage magic. And...well...just come for a great time.

If the games and activities aren't challenging enough, Beau Eckert will be with us to challenge us from God's Word. Beau spoke at High Point Camp for the first time in January 2009. His love for God and God's Word is evident and he is a passionate Bible teacher and preacher. The message you'll receive from God through Beau will be worth the whole evening.

FallFest 2009 is a "Must Attend" event. You and your youth group will have a blast meeting new friends, participating in all the activities, watching the magic, and hearing from God's Word. We hope to see you at High Point Camp for FallFest 2009.

Power Tool Derby 09 Men's Retreat was a SMASH HIT!
From the Pie Feast, to the shooting range, to the home run derby, the Men's Retreat was a huge success.  Dr. Dick Stratton gave great challenges to the 152 men that came from over 6 different states.

One of the highlights of the evening was the 2nd Annual Power Tool Derby.  Over 15 dragsters competed in three categories: Fastest Dragster, Best Engineering, and Most Dangerous.  There was a Demolition Derby to finish up the night, and there is talk of a fourth award, Most Destructive,  for next year's competition.

Next year's Men's Retreat will be held September 10-11, with speaker Ken Davies.  We hope to see YOU there!
