Winter Blast Three Ages: Sr High

Deep Freeze is a weekend retreat planned specifically for Jr High youth groups – that means lots of action in the snow, great food, dynamic chapel speakers and a full worship band – all to encourage youth in their walk with Christ! We take care of the programming so youth leaders can spend their time investing in relationships with their youth.

Camp Crossroads

Finding God in every moment

Friendship
Deep Freeze retreaters all come with their church youth groups and so there is a lot of time in the schedule for deepening friendships that will continue at home. There are also fun opportunities to mix with other youth groups and make new friends!

Faith
A full worship band and chapel speaker will provide opportunities to be encouraged and challenged in your faith journey. There is also time set aside in the schedule for Chillin' in Church groups - a time when each church youth group can spend time discussing what was taught in the chapels and how it applies to daily life.

Fun
We hope you like winter as much as we do, because if the weather cooperates, there will be an outdoor skating rink, a downhill tube run, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice-fishing, and plain old fun in the snow. Our program staff will provide some group games with all the youth groups and as well as help supervise free time activities where you can choose your own adventure.

Jason Erb

Me and my wife Rhonda, and 3 young adult daughters, live in Baden Ontario.  I began working with youth in 2001 with Youth Unlimited at Waterloo-Oxford District Secondary School and served there in a full-time role until 2005. I continued my involvement at W-O as a volunteer coach until present, while serving as a youth pastor at several local churches within 10 kilometres of the school. I am honoured to serve at Waterloo-Oxford Youth Unlimited/YFC as the campus ministry director. My primary passion is to support and coach youth through their turbulent teenage years, and to help them reach their full potential as they discover the depths of God’s great love for them.
