Samuel School I

Samuel School I

Samuel School I is a spiritual retreat for seventh and eighth graders held on the second weekend in October. The location of the retreat alternates between Quaker Hill and Twin Rocks from year to year. In 2011 it will be at Quaker Hill. Students are selected by their local church elders for their openness to the Spirit and their potential leadership skills. This is not a laid back junior high retreat; instead it offers a strong challenge and spiritual development.

Location: Quaker Hill Camp, McCall, Idaho 
Date: October 7-9, 2011
This year our 7th and 8th graders who were selected from across the Yearly Meeting learned new ways to hear God’s voice through various teachers from NWYM.
