About our Speakers:
Pastor Eric Dykstra is the Senior Pastor and Founder of Free Grace United, which is one church with many interdependent, grace-based congregations around the world. He is a pastor, author, church planter, and college teacher. But most importantly, he is in love with his wife Kelly and loves to give her pink roses. He is the biggest fan of his three kids, Braden, Holland, and Aidan, their spouses, and his awesome grandkids. His passion (besides Jesus, of course) is bass fishing. If he is not teaching the Bible somewhere, he is probably on a lake.
Pastor Anthony Milas is a passionate follower of Jesus who has loved the local church since he gave his life to Christ as a teenager. He served actively in the local church, completed Bible College, and built a thriving student and young adult ministry in Philadelphia.
In 1999, he and his wife Christy committed to establishing their lives in New England and to pastor a church in Salem, NH. The New England United Network that he founded has become a movement to plant new churches that reach people with the gospel.

What to Bring:

- Towels & toiletries.
- Warm clothing/layers. It will be chilly in the evening! (Be comfy! It's camp!)
- Good walking shoes/boots (there may be mud).
- Ear plugs/whatever you need to sleep comfortably in a cabin with others. If you registered for a lodge room, you may want a noise maker because people may be hanging out near your room.
- BYO gun for the range, if you wish, but please keep it locked in your car when not in use.
- BYO fishing gear.
- BYO boat
- BYO golf clubs
- BYO disc golf
- BYO snacks if you have special dietary needs. We will have options at meals but can't guarantee options for snack times.

- Please, no alcohol, animals, or children.
- Pack a CAMP mentality: It's camp! There will be bugs, dust, critters, other people, a schedule, and lots of fun. The food will be delicious, and the cabins are heated.
- Please note: we ask that you not leave the retreat early. Sunday 10am is the last session and we ask that you stay for this session before leaving to return home.
