3. Youth Awareness Weekend YAW/Teens Sexuality Awareness Weekend (April 11-13 @ the Stamford Hilton):
The Registration Form is already in the website, we have already received some in our office. You will be able to make Hotel Reservation, directly with the Stamford Hilton, beginning on Monday.
This program takes a comprehensive approach to the issues of adolescents (12-17 year olds) and is presented over the period of a weekend primarily by Christian physicians, pastors and individuals with expertise in the area of psychology and counseling. Doctor Herbert Goulding, a Greater New York Conference Physician and Author of this Ministry will lead the team of very qualified physicians during the weekend. They have dedicated their time and effort to help young people understand and prepare for life in a way that would increase the possibilities of a favorable outcome, thus decreasing the opportunities for regrets and poor outcomes.
The program has been developed to address the unaddressed needs of young people, with regards to the multiple aspects of their sexuality, taking a holistic and an unconventional approach. A shorter version of this program is available for church especially at AY time, and non-retreat events.
We have chosen a high quality hotel, formerly known as the Stamford Westin, now the Stamford Hilton, in StamfordConnecticut, because we agree that our TEENS need to be treated like royalty. Beautiful rooms with Heavenly Beds. On Saturday night and Sunday, there will be time for the indoor heated swimming pool and the exercise room. The Registration Price will be announced shortly.
The limit for this event is 100, only the first 100 registered will be able to attend. We would like to have all of the time necessary to interact and to work directly with the teens during the weekend. There will not be Sabbath ONLY Registrations, we would like those attending this event to attend the entire weekend. Each church group coming needs to bring a chaperone per room.
The Costs for the weekend are:
Hotel Reservation (Reserve directly with the Hotel): $99.00 (for up to four people per room, it can be about $25.00 per person per night.
