Middle School Church retreat

Grades 6-8 | Shores of St. Andrew Bible Camp
October 2-3, 2026
​Fee: $50 (Adults Free!)
​
Come away as a church group to a jam-packed retreat planned with you in mind! Our goal is that you leave this retreat with new leadership skills, a new understanding of how God sees you and the universe, and great stories of how much fun you had running around the woods at camp.

Confirmation groups will be given their own time for individual programming to respond and reflect to teaching time that is led by camp staff. Interested in coming and don’t have a church group? Indicate that on the registration form and we will put you on a waitlist until we are sure we have staff to support you! 
Register by Tuesday, September 22nd.

Grades 9-12 | Green Lake Bible Camp, Chrysalis House
November 13-15, 2026
​Fee: $90

High school students - come away from the everyday grind and experience the warm fuzzy feeling of camp. We want you to experience the love of God without restriction through community, laughter, and individual reflection time. Sometimes we know you need space to be alone and remember who you are, and sometimes we know you need loving community to feel right again. So, we offer both this weekend. Take advantage of it! Bring a friend or come alone! When you arrive, you will feel like you were always meant to be here. Register by Tuesday, November 3.
