Students Fall Retreat: Encounter!
Grades 6–12 are invited to join us December 12th–14th in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, for our annual fall retreat—Encounter! This year, our theme is “The Pause.” It can be a challenge for students to slow down and intentionally spend time with God, and when they do, many aren’t sure how to make the most of it.
During The Pause, students will learn practical ways to seek God:
- Prayer: How to connect with God in a meaningful way.
- Scripture memorization: Building a foundation for daily spiritual growth.
- Bible study: How to engage with specific passages and apply them to life.
Through these practices, students will grow closer to God and discover the value of prioritizing their spiritual journey.
Why your student won’t want to miss this:
- Biblical teaching & worship that’s engaging, relevant, and practical.
- SQUAD WARS—competitive, team-based games that add tons of fun throughout the weekend.
- Free time & on-site activities: sledding, basketball, rock climbing, broom ball, game room, and more!
- Exclusive Encounter Shirt to commemorate the weekend.
- Cost is $225—covering food, lodging, transportation, activities, and the shirt.
We can’t wait for your students to join us, learn how to pause, focus, and grow spiritually, and experience a weekend full of growth, fun, and connection!
