The Winter Retreat is a spiritually impacting weekend for High School students and leaders of Calvary Student Ministries! The Winter Retreat will take place at North Bay Adventure Camp in North East, MD. This event is a stake-in-the-ground moment for our students as they pursue their walk with God. We are so excited for High School students to have a weekend away to grow deeper in their relationship with God and grow together with one another as we pursue our life in Christ.

This year's theme is "Real Life. Real Change." We are inviting students to explore the life Jesus offers—a life that goes beyond just having fun or chasing after worthless pursuits. Instead finding a more fulfilling life that can only be offered through a relationship with Jesus. Rooted in John 20:31, this retreat focuses on encountering Jesus as the living Son of God, who brings real, lasting change to those who believe. Come ready to deepen your faith, grow together, and be inspired to live out your purpose in Christ.
