Leisure Week I
Click here for the registration form
July 2 - 7, 2012
Destination Family Vacation!
Looking for a solid investment these days? Invest in your family with time away! Yes, it's difficult to get away, yet doing so creates some of the best and strongest memories we have. Maranatha's Leisure Weeks give your family great opportunities to experience excellent teaching and worship as well as fun and exciting activities. In addition to our many regular activities, we will be celebrat- ing both weeks with an interactive puppet show and fireworks! Maranatha is located near 4 museums including historic Strawberry Banke and Prescott Park Gardens in Portsmouth.
These weeks are open to everyone without regard to family size. Live alone? Join us! Dads must attend the entire program. Single Dads or Moms are most welcome. Don’t forget to invite Grandparents.
Craig and Kim Merritt join us for both weeks, leading our meal time singing and providing an optional "Kids' Club" for ages 3-9.
Speakers
Adults and Youth: Steve Demme
Ages 3 - 7: The Merritt Family
Arrival / Departure
Arrive: 4:00 pm, Saturday
Depart: 10:00 am, Saturday
"Growing Closer Together" is our theme for these vacation opportunities. You can invest your family vacation time in making happy memories while learning to make your family even more successful. Each family will have its own table for the week in our dining room. Come and leave the cooking and dishes behind and enjoy being served. Register now for a vacation with a purpose! Grandparents and single-parent families are welcome. These weeks are family centered and open to families and their immediate relatives. Due to the size of this ministry and the growing popularity of this program, we must limit each church group to four families per session.
Everyone will work on scripture memorization at their own pace. We'll also have an emphasis on family devotions.
Housing
In addition to our cabins, there are areas for tents and campers. We also
offer campsites with full hook-ups (30 amp electric service, water and sewer) for
your tent or RV in a beautiful wooded area.
Meals
All meals and snacks are included. We serve a wide variety of foods to meet all tastes at three buffets a day. You'll be able to special order eggs, etc. at breakfast. To make your morning more relaxed breakfast is now served from 7:30 - 8:30 am.
Cost
$190.00 per adult age 16 and up, $90 ages 10-16, and no charge for children 9 and under.
Teaching Sessions
Young people will learn right along side their parents during these practical sessions. We encourage all to take notes and ask questions.
MORNING
Our relaxed morning schedule includes a 7:30 - 8:30 hearty breakfast followed by a practical Bible study. You'll find these studies especially helpful including a time for questions and answers. Note: we provide baby care during these sessions. We also offer optional short project times i.e. cleaning, raking, etc.
AFTERNOONS
Afternoons are free for family times together. You may rest, visit with another family, swim, go fishing, canoeing, kayaking or row boating. You can even try out one of our pedal cars. There are several places to enjoy nearby including two mountains to hike, a large fish hatchery and a cedar forest. Within a half hour traveling distance are some of New Hampshire's inviting vacation activities. Lake Winnipesaukee is just 10 minutes away. We will pack you a lunch if you will be away.
EVENING
Our evening Bible Study immediately follows supper to make an early evening for your children. This gives teens and adults time to enjoy other activities. We offer a number of other evening activities including Nature Night Walks, a talent show, and a music program. One evening we'll have a dress-up dinner.
HIS CLUB-For 3-7 year olds
We know that basically, if your children are happy and well taken care of, then you'll be happy! Younger children 3-7 years old always leave here with glowing reports of how they enjoyed the "His Club" meetings. These are offered during the a.m. and p.m. Bible studies. We'll do our best to help you care for those under age 3. His Club is offered as an option. Those families wishing to keep their children with them are welcome to do so.
Dress Code
We ask that each guest dress modestly.
Participants' Comments
