On Your Mark...
You are about to embark on a fantastic journey to Heartland Conference Retreat Center. We know that you are all packed and ready to make memories
that will last a lifetime. But as with all great adventures, you want to make
sure you are prepared. Take a minute to answer the following questions:
What is the one thing you are most excited about for this trip?
What do you hope to learn on this trip?
Get Set…
Great! Now that you’ve thought about what you will be doing, take a minute
to set one personal goal. It can be anything. For example, your goal can be to
make a new friend, to learn a new song, to try something you’ve never done
before, to learn something new, or something else entirely. Be creative and
really think about it.

you could possibly do this at school as a class?
