An engaging time together

Whether it’s learning, singing, eating, or hanging out – we are intentionally crafting every part of this retreat to be engaging and purposeful for students of all ages.

Worship

We love lifting our voices in praise to Jesus through song! A portion of each session is dedicated to singing together. It's ok if you don't know the songs - still participate with us!

Teaching

Each year we have a specific theme to help our students focus in on a specific topic that we believe God is leading us to prioritize. Our speaker will prepare messages that are founded directly from the Bible to help students dive deep into God’s Word and wrestle with issues they’re facing in their life.

Activities

Throughout the retreat there will be plenty of free time for fun and games around the camp including a zip line, climbing wall, one-wheels, basketball, and large field competitions, and more! All of these are run and monitored by the trained camp staff as well as WBCC and Parkway Students leaders.

Meet this year’s guest speaker

We are so excited for y’all to meet Thomas Barr. Thomas works on staff at Passion City Church D.C., helping form the local church spiritually through teaching and written content. He also studies Historical Theology at Dallas Theological Seminary. His favorite things are spending time with friends and reading – he also just got engaged! We can’t wait to see how God is going to speak through him to impact the lives of all the students that attend.

Frequently asked questions

We want to be clear with communication and expectations. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns!

What should my student bring to the retreat?

Here is a list of suggested items for all students to bring for the most enjoyable experience!

Will I be able to contact my student directly?

We take up all students’ phones to help them focus on God and make life-changing relationships over the weekend. The contacts listed below are able to be contacted with important questions regarding your student. We will give the phones back to students on the ride back to WBCC on Sunday, although many students prefer to just leave their phones at home altogether. We believe this is crucial to helping students fully engage during this retreat and we appreciate your partnership and trust with us! Registered Nurse: Christiana Remus is a registered nurse who will be assisting our students with medical needs this weekend. If you need to contact her, she can be reached at +1 (512) 736-9541.
