What is a Getaway?
A Getaway is an event, but slightly different from a Crossroads Camp (although in the same family). It is an event that is planned for overnight, as well as day participation. It is meant to build community, provide opportunities to grow in relationship with God while engaging in solitude, teaching, worship and prayer. It is an adventure but with a little less physical challenge and a bed with a private bathroom.
