9th Grade Rock-N-Water Fall Retreat 2022
Dear 9th Grade Student Families,
The 9th grade class will be going to Rock-N-Water, an outdoor Christian Camp, located between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe on the South Fork of the American River. Since 1989, Rock-N-Water has been focusing on biblical principles while using nature, friendship and challenge to develop character. We are excited for our students to experience the challenge of river rafting, canyoneering, hiking, and team building exercises all while enjoying the Rock-N-Water's campsite and facilities. If you would like more information on Rock-N-Water, please visit their website at www.rocknwater.com.
Our fall retreats are an integral part of students' overall development at The King's Academy, intentionally designed so that students grow personally and spiritually, bond together as a class, and build relationships with staff. During this time, students will strengthen friendships, mature in their walk with Christ, and experience God in new and refreshing ways. We hope that the skills and character developed as a result of this experience will assist them in the challenges they will face through the next four years of high school. This trip is intended to challenge students both physically and spiritually while allowing them time to get to know their class. We are very much looking forward to spending this time together! Get ready to have an amazing experience!
