Element Young Adults Retreat
The Element Young Adults Retreat at Pioneer Camp provides a winter get away during the busyness of life, school, and work. We invite young adults from various churches, and communities to spend a relaxing and refreshing weekend in the heart of Muskoka. Element brings together a challenging speaker and an engaging worship band providing an opportunity for all who attend to meet with God, to grow and to be encouraged.
Outdoor activities abound! From cross country skiing and snowshoeing to a broomball tournament or sitting by a fireplace with hot chocolate in conversation with friends.

Element 2

Cost per person: $134 including tax
Speaker: Element is excited to announce that Kevin Loten will be the speaker for the weekend. Kevin will be speaking on the topic of “Is there such a thing as certainty?”
We can all agree that 2020 was a pretty crappy …uh, difficult year. Things we’d taken for granted most of our lives were suddenly upended and uncertain. We have come to realize that many of the things we trust are perhaps, not as reliable as we thought. What can we trust? What is certain? Is there such a thing as certainty? Let’s get together in February and talk about what trusting Jesus in an uncertain world looks like.
