Who are fall and winter youth retreats for?

Our youth ministry serves grades 4-6 at our Preteen Retreat in November and Middle and High School youth groups at Winter Teen Retreats on weekends in January and February.

As a parent, how can I sign my child up for a pre-teen or teen fall or winter retreat?

Pre-teen and teen retreats are available through church youth groups only. We do not offer individual registration. However, you can contact the youth leaders at your local church and express your interest in attending a youth winter retreat.

As leaders, what must we do to prepare for the weekend retreat?

You bring your youth leaders and chaperones, and SpringHill does the rest. We provide energized large group sessions, an inspiring speaker, a worship band, exciting activities, buffet-style meals, and bunk-style housing so you can focus on connecting with your youth and experiencing Jesus.

How do you select the retreat speakers?

We choose speakers with Biblically rooted theology. We also look for energetic and charismatic speakers who engage with the audience and have relatable experiences to share with your youth group.

What activities do you offer during weekend retreats?

Groups have access to an indoor high ropes course, the gym (volleyball, dodgeball, and basketball tournaments), an indoor pool, individual challenges like crate stacking, crafts, a zipline, group competitions, group games (like an escape room, laser tag, and paintball) and a tubing hill and ice skating (we make our own snow when needed) for Teen Winter Retreats.

Are teens and pre-teens grouped together on retreats?

No. Generally, retreats are age-specific, with preteens, middle schoolers, and high schoolers attending separately. However, some weekends, middle and high school students participate in the same retreat experience.

Does SpringHill retreat offer accommodations for those with disabilities?

We want every child to belong and have a place at SpringHill. During winter retreats, most activities can be adjusted to accommodate youth with physical limitations. Please contact our guest services to discuss your student’s specific needs to ensure an unforgettable experience.

Preteen Fall

Teen Winter

SpringHill Experiences invites preteens and teens to come as they are.

To vanquish the noise from an unforgiving world and listen to God’s Word.
To remain tender-hearted as they discover the teachings of the Bible.
To feel spiritually nourished by the loving message of Jesus Christ.

During their weekend retreat…

They will leave the familiar and explore new things.
They will forsake a world that compares them to AI perfectionism and embrace their inner beauty.
They will fall in love with the Gospel of Christ.

When they open their ears, they will hear God whisper, “You are loved, cherished, and valued, just as you are!”
