College Retreat

Date Friday, January 3 - Sunday, January 5, 2025
Time

Attention Missionaries, College Students, and Staff ages 17-25: You're invited to join us for a weekend to pause, relax, and connect with God and others.

This Year’s Theme: "Be Still"
Inspired by Psalm 23:1-3, we’re setting aside time to step away from the busyness of daily life and focus on what truly matters. Whether you’re coming alone or with friends, this retreat offers a refreshing space to reflect, recharge, and deepen your connection with God.


The retreat includes fun activities, group games, time to relax, reflect, and connect with others, space to unwind and reset in a supportive community, lodging, food, and a free shirt! Registration is $50 for the weekend.


Leave with awesome memories, new friendships, and a renewed perspective on God's purpose for your life. We can’t wait to experience this meaningful time together, growing in faith and connection. Invite a friend, and let’s start the new year focused on Him!


Theme Verse
Psalm 23:1-3 (ESV)
"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul."


GIVEAWAY ALERT!

Register for the College Retreat, and you’ll be entered to win a one-of-a-kind Camp Barnabas Cotopaxi Inca 26L backpack—complete with our embroidered three-pokey logo.


This bag isn’t just a looker; it’s adventure-ready. Features include:

Stowable ice axe loop and trekking pole attachments (because yetis are a thing).

Zippered shoulder strap pocket for quick access to your phone to text your camp crew.

Spacious top and side zip pockets for all your JEFF tokens and friendship bracelets.

Two water bottle holders to keep you hydrated (because hydrate > die-drate).


Bonus: When you invite a friend new to Barnabas, and they come to the retreat, you’ll snag 5 extra entries for the backpack. Yep, FIVE. Don’t miss out! You must be present at the College Retreat to win.
