SUMMARY:Cedarkirk Virtual Run/Walk
DESCRIPTION:Cedarkirk Virtual Races\nREGISTER FOR THE RACE\nGo for a run in your own neighborhood while virtually joining others in the Cedarkirk family. There are three options to choose from – so we’ve got something for you\, whether you’re a “runner” or not. Every participant gets a limited edition Cedarkirk race tee-shirt and sticker – and – depending on your time\, you could find yourself in possession of a coveted prize. \n\n\n\nCedarkirk 5k\nThis is a classic distance for runners and walkers of all kinds. Run or walk your 3.1 miles and find out how you stack up against everybody else!\n\n\nCedarkirk 0.5k\nIf you’re not feeling up to a 5k\, but still want to participate\, this might be more your speed. It’s only 0.3107 miles\, which is really just one loop around the block\, right? You can join the fun and wear your Cedarkirk race tee with pride. (Tell everyone it was a 50k if you really want.)\n\n\nCedarkirk 500 miles\nMany of you fondly remember the line dance we do to “I Would Walk 500 Miles.” In honor of that bit of camp culture\, you can sign up for this race with friends and family. Over the course of two months\, your group needs to collectively log 500 miles of walking. (For example\, if you have 6 people in your group\, you each have to walk 1.5 miles each day during the race window to hit 500 miles\n\n\n\n\nThe process is simple:\n1. Sign up for the race of your choice.\n2. Run/walk your chosen distance at some point during the race’s dates.\n3. Report your time through the race website.\n4. See if you qualified for special prizes! \nREGISTER FOR THE RACE\nHere’s a snapshot of the artwork for the race tee:

SUMMARY:StoryShare
DESCRIPTION:Cedarkirk’s story is the collection of stories held by the people who have built this place\, shaped this place\, and grown to call it home. After 50 years of ministry\, there are plenty of stories to share. The stories bind us together and allow us all to share in the big picture of Cedarkirk’s ministry. \nThat’s where you come in: we want to hear your stories! We want to hear them all – the funny ones and the ones that bring a tear to your eye. You can share about the ways Cedarkirk changed your life or just a vivid memory that really stands out in your mind. \nYou don’t have to be the world’s greatest speaker – we just want to hear your experience in your own words. (See the “Helpful Hints” section below to make your story the best it can be!) Our goal is to piece these stories together into a video about the way Cedarkirk has helped people draw closer to God and to one another over the last half-century. \nHow to participate: \n\nThink of a story or memory from your time at Cedarkirk.\nWrite it down or run through it a few times so it’s fresh in your head.\nRecord yourself (or have someone record you) telling the story.\nEmail the file to stories@cedarkirk.com. Include your name and a few sentences about your association with Cedarkirk (when you attended\, who you came with\, etc.).\n\nHelpful Hints: \n\nBe mindful of your pacing and speak slowly – many people speak too quickly on camera. If it feels a little slow to you\, it’s probably just right.\nEnunciate your words clearly. We won’t be able to share your story if we can’t understand what you’re saying!\nBe animated! The more excited and engaged you seem\, the better your story will translate to video.\nFeel free to write your story down\, but remember that you’ll be on video\, so you do need to look at the camera from time to time. (You can print some key words in large letters and post it next to your camera so it appears you’re looking straight at the screen. There are also free “teleprompter” apps you can download to your computer or smartphone so you can read and still look at the camera.)\nTry to avoid rambling and keep your video to a few minutes or less. We’ll do some editing\, but we’d love it if you could keep it brief.\nEnsure your background is exciting\, but not too distracting. (If you don’t want everyone seeing the unfolded laundry on your couch\, maybe step outside for a more natural setting.)\nIf you’re filming on a smartphone\, make sure you are filming horizontally\, with the phone turned sideways. We can’t use videos filmed vertically!\nDo a very quick test video to make sure you can be heard clearly and aren’t too far away from the microphone.\nHave fun! If you’re excited about your story the viewer will be\, too!

SUMMARY:Confirmation Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Help your confirmation students put the pieces together.\nCome see why so many join us for our annual Confirmation Retreats. For 20 years\, Cedarkirk has been combining confirmation study with community building through engaging group study\, fun\, and recreation. \nThis is a time for confirmands to: \n~Gain a greater understanding of the church within the Presbyterian Church (USA) \n~Build relationships with their peers and the adults who are helping to shape their faith. \nSTUDY:\nParticipants will go through the process of new church development as they work their way through the theme: Building a Church. From writing a statement of faith and mission statement for their ‘new’ church to studying the covenant relationship with a presbytery\, confirmands will explore and discuss why the greater church might consider starting a new worshiping community. This is really an overview of all the confirmation curriculum you will cover in your individual classes. Students will articulate what they believe and gain a greater appreciation of what it takes to work together to build a church family that worships God\, supports one another\, and reaches into the world. \nCOMMUNITY BUILDING:\nIn addition to the time for study there will time for recreation like climbing our rock wall\, whizzing through the trees on our zip tower\, group games\, and more. Of course\, there is also time spent around the table enjoying meals with good food and friends. Cedarkirk is a safe environment for sharing and articulating one’s faith. \nDETAILS:\nThis event begins with registration from 7:00-8:00pm on Friday and ends after lunch on Sunday (about 1:15pm). The cost is $80 for rustic lodging and $120 for climate-controlled lodging. Fee includes lodging\, activities\, meals (Saturday breakfast-Sunday lunch)\, and two evening snacks. \nRegister by mailing\, emailing\, or faxing in a Group Registration Form or by contacting us: info@cedarkirk.org or 813.685.4224 x2. Each participant (adult and youth) must also bring an Individual Registration Form with them to Check-In.
