Conference Session Descriptions:

Retreat Planning Is a 2-Way Street
Based on interviews with camp directors and years of church retreat planning experience, Rachel will help your staff identify their expectations for retreat planners, develop strategies for effectively communicating them and hear from “the other side of the fence” as to retreat planners’ expectations of you and your facility.

Love the One You’re With (women’s seminar)
Ever think to yourself, “This marriage thing is way harder than I thought it would be.”? You’re not alone! Speaker Rachel Gilmore has known her husband since they were 5 years old and in the same Sunday School class, but even she thinks that way at times! In a girls-only session seasoned with humor and grace, Rachel will help participants remember why and how God’s plan calls us to “Love the One You’re With” in spite of the little things that sometimes make us want wash those men right out of our hair!


Rachel Gilmore bio
Rachel Gilmore, M.Ed., is the author of the The Complete Leader’s Guide to Christian Retreats (Judson Press 2008). A second book with Judson called To All Generations is due out at the end of 2009. For a while Rachel felt like God had her in training to become a jack of all trades, master of none. But it turns out that God’s master plan included all of those diverse experiences to prepare her for this present moment of writing and speaking for Him, full time. Yay, God!
