Question

How to conduct adzap in church youth retreats?

Answer 1

1) PICK A DATE

DOODLE.COM calendars are a great way to survey parents/youth on their schedules. You can send an electronic link to allow feedback on what date works best for the most people.  Be sure to keep in mind any major church-wide events that may be happening that you would want your youth to be a part of – and avoid those weekends.  Try to plan it at least 3-4 months out.

2) BUDGET

Does your church have a youth budget? Is there money that the church can give for a portion of the cost? How much do you suppose families can give? Starting with these questions can help you make some major decisions, for example, can the retreat be at a retreat center or camp? Does it need to be a lock-in at the church to cut back on cost? If you use a retreat center, will they provide food? Do you want to incorporate any activities that cost money as part of the retreat? Budget often drives the activities for the retreat.
