Spring Youth Retreats
2026 Spring Youth Retreat at Snowbird
Our spring youth retreats are comprehensive and jam-packed with four main teaching sessions and small group meetings—spread throughout Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday morning. This is where your students will meet, digest expositional Bible teaching, and work through the day-to-day aspects of following Jesus. We’re confident that our retreats will help your students grow in their relationship with Jesus and equip them to go out and make disciples. Let us know if you have any questions about our spring retreats.
We also like to play—really hard. Your students will also be assigned recreation times on Friday night and Saturday afternoon. There’s something about having fun together that builds relationships that last long after a trip to SWO, and we don’t want you to miss out on that.

What do Snowbird Spring Youth Retreats look like?
These spring retreat weekends are built specifically for church youth groups, and include solid biblical teaching, Gospel-focused worship, high-adventure recreation, and small groups.
What recreation is available?
The scheduled recreation includes any of our on-campus recreation options: like our climbing tower, aerial park, zip line, 3-man swing, archery tag, basketball court, and paintball course.
What types of housing do you provide?
We have over 14 cabins on our campus, divided by bedrooms for each group. They each provide twin-sized bunk beds, air conditioning, and heat. Our cleaning team takes great pride in keeping things clean but the buildings are primarily functional.
You’ll need to provide your own bedding, pillow and towels. One of our 4 bathhouses is always a short walk from each cabin.
How do I add or drop additional spots to my group?
You can add additional spots to your group as long as the retreat is not full. The best way to find out is to open your Snowbird Account and see if any remaining spots are open for the retreat. However, you only want to register spots that you’re sure you’ll need. The deposit is non-refundable.
Check our Registration Guide for details on how to invite specific students to your group via email.
How many chaperones does my group need to bring?
SWO requires a minimum of a 1:10 chaperone to student ratio. If you are bringing both guys and girls to camp, you will need chaperones of each gender to attend as well.
Can I bring my dog to Snowbird?
Due to the complexity of events at SWO, our campuses operate under a “no animals” policy. As a religious organization, SWO is not bound by public accommodation rules. If you have questions about this policy, please call us for clarification.
