What is Beach Bash?
Beach Bash is an event that was started by The River Church of the Nazarene in 2010 with the hope of gathering teens together for a low-cost weekend campout/retreat featuring a speaker and a day at the beach. This year marks a new chapter as we prepare for the 17th annual Beach Bash, The River Church and MAD NYI Council have partnered together to make this an official MAD NYI event!
The weekend will include camping on The River's property, four messages from our speaker, a day at the beach on Saturday, Mighty Miggsy Birthday Bag service project, a wonderful community meal, and downtime to relax!
