Register for Tuscarora Youth Event: $175 through Jan 20
Youth in grades 6-12 are invited for a 2-night youth event hosted by Lutheran leaders in Southeastern PA at Tuscarora Inn and Conference Center in Bethel PA on March 20-22. This is a legacy event that has been hosted in the synod for over 30 years! Our single-night retreats have been a great way to gain comfort with this next 2-day/2-night event. Registration is $175 per student through Jan 20, and increases to $225 through Feb. 10th. Adult-companions are covered by St James — depending on enrollment, we may need 1-2 adults to attend along with Janet Hilsmier. Register at Tuscarora Retreat.
