The Retreat
This is an annual Young Adult Retreat for Post-Secondary Students, Young Professionals, and basically anyone between the ages of 18-30 (you must be 18 on or before February 20, 2026). This is an intentional weekend away to grow your friendships, community and to grow in your faith. The weekend includes worship gatherings with speaking, along with perspectives of life and faith experience. There will be times of adventure and times to relax. It is a weekend that we look forward to every year! We'd love for you to join us.
The Wilds
We couldn’t think of a cooler location for this weekend! The Wilds is located just outside of St. John’s (near Holyrood off of Salmonier Line), during the summer it is a picturesque golf resort, during the winter? It’s our playground!
You’ll be well accommodated in comfortable Hotel rooms, with your friends, and during your free time you can lounge by the fire, play board games in the cafe, join a traditional NL boil-up (aka: a fire outside where snacks can be cooked over the fire), sledding, or walk around in the wintery-wonderland-like grounds.
If you desire a private room, for yourself (or you and your spouse), we can accommodate that request for an extra cost. Details will be noted in the registration form.
Visit The Wilds website to see more about this beautiful location!
The Logistics
$170 for Registration: EMT Bethesda via give@bethesda.ca and note “YA Retreat: Your Name” in the memo.
Registration and payment is due by January 18th!
This includes all activities, food and accommodations. Please note that this price point is with accommodations of 4 people per room with two double beds. If you love your privacy and would like to secure a room for yourself alone or with just one other friend, we can also do this at an extra cost. We will determine this cost based on your request.
Less than $80 for Transportation: Contact Pastor Micah if you’d like transporation.
We all split the fuel costs, which typically costs under $80 per person (calculated after retreat). This is separate from the $170 registation payable to Bethesda. Don't send the transportation fee with your registration costs.
CAUTION: Driving across Newfoundland is a risk. Please have $100 available in case we decide to stay overnight in central to avoid risky driving conditions.
Are you are a Young Adult who calls SomethingMore home and trully feel like the registration cost an issue that will keep you from attending this weekend? If so, please contact Pastor Micah for assistance.
We have also provided a sample letter if you’d like to use it and send it to your home church to request assistance from the Pastor/Church Board for your registration costs. Download it and make it your own.
