Youth Winter Camp

Youth Winter Camp at Lake Retreat is four days and three nights filled with worship, teaching, games, good food, and plenty of time with friends. Students from churches across the region gather over MLK weekend for a few days away from their normal routines, creating space to build relationships, have fun, and spend time thinking about things that often get pushed aside during a busy school year.

The days are a mix of chapel sessions, worship, activities, meals, free time, and one of Winter Camp's biggest traditions: the Winter Cup. Throughout the weekend, teams compete in a variety of events, earning points and cheering each other on as the competition unfolds. Whether students are all-in on the games or just enjoying the energy around them, the Winter Cup becomes part of what makes the weekend memorable.

Just as important are the moments in between. Conversations in the cabin, meals shared with friends, late-night laughter, and time spent with student leaders often become some of the things students remember most. The weekend gives students an opportunity to step away from the usual distractions, connect with others, and engage with God in a setting that's different from everyday life.

We'll be joining churches from around the region at Lake Retreat for Winter Camp over MLK weekend. The camp is open to middle and high school students, and additional details about transportation, packing lists, and schedules will be shared with registered families as the weekend approaches.
