GEORGETOWN — Delmarva Christian High School students traveled to Black Rock Retreat on Sept. 7-9 with over 50 students, staff and chaperones.

The annual retreat allows ninth graders the chance to become better acquainted with their classmates and learn more about what it means to be a Royal.

“The annual freshman retreat marks the time that our students become one unified class,” principal Nathan Benjamin said. “Using technology-free time with each other and some of our senior leaders, teachers and staff, God began working in the hearts and minds of the campers this year, as individuals and as a graduating class.”

On the retreat, students participated in devotion and reflection sessions led by J.T. Spadin, associate/youth pastor at LiFT Church, Salisbury, Maryland; bonded during team-building activities; and explored the Nature Center.

“I had a great time at Black Rock this year. I got the chance to make new friends, strengthen relationships with old friends and grow closer to Jesus,” freshman Harrison Schlabach said.

Delmarva Christian Schools provide Christian education to students in grades 9-12 at the high school in Georgetown and for young toddlers through eighth graders in Milton.
