Winter Retreats Are Here!

Well, we finally have snow...and freezing temperatures. It's officially winter! I was starting to think that we were going to have to look at grass for the next three months. Our first few groups came to Arrowhead for a "winter retreat" instead of "snow camp". Anticipating a splendid view of brownish-green grass, we set out to make a worthy addition to our outdoor activities. In about a week and a half, just before our first youth retreat...we built our very own football field.
From the pictures below you can see that it's no ordinary field. There's no need to use your coat as an end zone marker. There's no questioning whether your opponent was out of bounds. And, for those amazing - sprint down the side line - dive in for the touchdown - while being tackled in mid air plays...we have orange pylons to let everyone know that the ball crossed the goal line before you hit the ground.
The Uprights are 11' across and 21' high, with a comfortable blue post pad to keep you and your friends from getting a concussion. We thought about going crazy with lining the field. I would have liked to have had a big arrowhead at the 50 yard line and hash marks up the middle. But, my graffiti skills are a little wanting.
What a great activity for groups who come to camp with no snow. An added bonus is that the field is just as awesome in the snow.



Know Anybody from Cornell?
Our past two groups have been from Cornell University. Both are Chinese ministries on campus. They come to Arrowhead to kick off the spring semester. We are always blessed to have them here, as they are very focused and faithful students.
February brings us a handful of youth groups from a variety of places in Pennsylvania.
