February 7-9, 2025
REGISTRATION | FINANCIAL AID | FLYER
Metaphysical Theme: Our watchwords are Truth and Love; and if we abide in these, they will abound in us, and we shall be one in heart, – one in motive, purpose, pursuit. MW 135: 5-7
Teens (grades 7-12), get ready for an unforgettable adventure with DiscoveryBound in the Berkshires! Join us for two action-packed days full of inspiration, fun, and new friendships. Whether you’re hitting the slopes for skiing or snowboarding, or tubing and joining our exciting DB Winter Olympics on Lake Pontoosuc, there’s something for everyone! You’ll stay in cozy condos with stunning views of Jiminy Peak, and enjoy tons of activities—including a huge indoor swimming pool, a relaxing hot tub, and plenty of time to hang out with old friends and make new ones. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity for meaningful CS discussions with like-minded peers. (And if skiing or snowboarding isn’t your thing, don’t worry—there’ll be snow tubing for you to enjoy!) This is one event you won’t want to miss!
