ROCK 2010 is an exciting Christian weekend retreat in which youth in grades 6-12 from the Baltimore-Washington Conference of the United Methodist Church will gather at the Ocean City Convention Center.  The purpose of the retreat is to "ROCK" the lives of our youth and help them into a new or deeper faith in, and personal relationship with the ROCK of our Salvation, Jesus Christ.

Conference Council on Youth Ministries (CCYM) Presents: 
ROCK 2010  "The Light Knight"
Scripture:   Romans 13:12   "The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light."
 

This event is for youth between the ages of middle school and high school.  The chaperones must be over 21 years old (according to the BWC safe sanctuaries policy) and adult chaperone must be at least 5 years older that the youth they are chaperoning.  Our event requires you to have a church affiliation, so if you have youth that want to attend and you have a connection with a local UMC in your area, I suggest that you contact them and partner with them to attend. 

The Praise Leaders for ROCK 2010 are:
