You’re invited to “go up” into the mountains of south-central Montana, joining with others at Christikon to reflect on ministry with young people in your congregation, to find ideas and direction, to experience renewal and connection with those who are your colleagues in ministry in other congregations. Meals are served from Friday supper through and early Sunday breakfast. Cost: $50 per adult.

About her theme, Who Me? A Disciple?, Pastor Peggy writes: “Christians talk about being disciples of Jesus, but many of us wonder what that might mean. How are we to be disciples? The sessions during this weekend will focus on experiential learning with both large group learning/discussion and some smaller group activities, to help us focus on caring with our hearts and to work on some skills to use to care for others. The skills apply to family, friends, work environments, and congregations. Yes, you! A disciple! Session 1: Sharing who we are ̶ the Good Samaritan Story as model. Session 2: Saying hello ̶ Relationships have a beginning. Session 3: Caring ̶ Welcoming as beginning. Session 4: Then what? Conversations ̶ It’s about care and compassion. Costs: $70 per adult, $35 per child 6-12. No charge for children under 6. Add $50 per room for those requesting Living Center housing (each of the six rooms has a queen bed and two singles.) Register. =========================================================================== Adult Backpacking • July 22-26 (or other dates as arranged). Christikon can host groups of adults (couples, young adults, one-gender groups, older adults, etc.) in the magnificent mountain wilderness surrounding the camp. Your group must have at least six people, and can have no more than twelve. Two Christikon staff go with each group as leaders. Your group arrives Thursday afternoon, July 22, stays overnight at camp for orientation and packing-out, heads into the wilderness the next morning, stays out in the back country the nights of July 23-25, and returns to Christikon the afternoon of July 26. Your route can be tailored to your group. You may do a three-night back country loop, or you may arrange for setting up a base camp from which you day-hike (so you carry packs only the first and last days). Our staff people can lead the program; or they can work with you in shared program leadership for Bible study, Quiet Time and worship. It would be possible for some of your group to remain on-site during the adult backpack, to participate in the Mountain Weekend 2 session (July 23-25), and/or to stay on for the Continuing Education Retreat (July 26-29; see description of that session below). It is also possible to arrange for a week-long adult backpack or CreationCare experience during one of the Mountaineers/CreationCare sessions for youth (July 6-12, July 13-19, July 25-31, or August 2-8). Cost for July 22-26: $185 per adult, or as arranged for varying durations. Contact the camp office by telephone (406 656-1969) or by e-mail to make arrangements. =========================================================================

Current Christikon staff help as hosts, and will be available for child care as may be needed. The schedule includes time for hiking, morning and evening worship, a game of Christikon Trivia Pursuit, time for sharing (maybe even Sharing of Gifts?), folk dancing, etc. Participants are welcome to e-mail (well in advance of the retreat would help) with Christikon trivia questions and suggestions for other possible activities to schedule.
