The Soul Sisterhood Retreat, a ministry of St. Philip the Deacon Lutheran Church, is a week-long adventure for girls between the ages of 11 and 14. We inspire young women to learn new skills, discover new passions, make new friends and build confidence through fearless trying and creating—all in a Christ-centered, supportive environment. It’s an opportunity to create in God’s name, while asking God to create a renewed spirit and strength in each of us. Every day, the girls explore practical and creative skills for living in God’s world as they work to earn their “merit badges” for each fun activity. At the end of the week, their badges show how many things they’ve accomplished!

 

Today’s world is a scary place for young women who are faced with constant criticisms and demands to be perfect. How can you build up the courage to try new things when the possibility of failure is around every corner? Through an understanding of the Bible’s definition of perfection we’ll show how we are all perfect (already!) through God’s true, complete love—so there’s nothing to fear! Combining this understanding with new adventures, girls will grow in their relationship with God and with other brave young women as we affirm one another’s gifts.

This year we are excited to offer two weeks of camp!  Each week will include the same activities and amazing leaders.  Participants will choose the camp session that works best for them.

 

South Fork Farm in Lester Prairie, Minnesota will provide the location for our amazing camp.  This restored 1920's farmhouse has the perfect ambiance to inspire creativity.   Check out their website here.
