Retreats, Trips, and Experiences

Raising Micah sponsors events that are open to families of all shapes and sizes, people who are wanting to raise children – anywhere between ages 0 and 18 – to be just, kind, and humble. Please see the listing below. To learn more – or if you would rather have us lead a separate event for your own church – please contact Chamie Delkeskamp at raisingmicah@mac.com or call (805) 300-3456.

Family Service-Learning Weekend

First Lutheran Church/Iglesia Luterana Mi Salvador, Inglewood, CA
Last trip was February 2010; next trip TBA

Here are pictures from our August 2009 weekend.


Global Village

Spring 2010, date TBD, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM
Ascension Lutheran Church, Thousand Oaks, CA

$10/per adult and $5/per child (age 4 to 17) / Visit our Global Village page...

The Raising Micah Global Village Experience is designed for families of all ages... it’s a “hands-on” time of “living,” if only for a brief couple of hours, as you might in another country. The experience includes time in “portable village units.” The structures include a bamboo hut, a plywood home, a tent, and cardboard boxes. Each structure represents a different area, such as Sudan, Peru, Cambodia, and inner-city U.S. homeless. When families (or groups of families) go to their structures, they will receive various amounts of food – some very, very little – to help gain understanding of food resources; they will also have to “hike” for a water to get an understanding of water resources. We hope you are willing to jump into the experience and see through a new lens!


Family Retreats


"Doing Justice, Loving Kindness, & Walking Humbly"

August 20-22, 2010 at Lake Wapogasset Lutheran Bible Camp, Amery, Wisconsin.

"Living in Rhythm"

November 12-14, 2010 (beginning Friday at 7:00 PM & concluding at 1:00 PM on Sunday) at El Camino Pines Bible Camp, Frazier Park, CA

Families of all shapes and sizes are invited to retreat together and reflect on rhythms of work, study, rest, play, and pray. Pastors Tim & Chamie Delkeskamp and children will lead daily rhythms of prayer and study as well as exploring what it means to live deeply in the rhythms of the Christian year. The new Christian year actually begins November 29th, 2010, the first day of Advent, so this is a wonderful time to dream and pray and plan as a family for a new year. Also, each family will receive the “Story-Formed Calendar” that is based on the seasons of the church year (check out the calendar at www.storyformed.worldpress.com).
