Planning/Budgeting Retreat

This year our Youth Council and their parents headed to the beach for a Planning/Budgeting Retreat. Our church year, like most church years, start in October so we needed to decide what we wanted to do for the coming year.Coming up with the activities wasn't a problem, but we had to figure out how to pay for our play so we did a little budget planning as well.

We spent our days playing either outside on the beach or inside playing board games, reading books, or watching TV. It was a time to do just exactly whatever made you happy (within the confines of the beach house or on the sand in front of the ocean front house) as long as it was relaxing and stress free.

We got our planning done and figured out how to pay for it so I thought I would share a few of the wonderful shots of just how we spent our time:


Oh, by the way ... we do live at the beach but so seldom do we get to relax and enjoy what's in our own backyard. Needless to say, this retreat was put on the calendar for next year as well.
