Gospel-Driven Youth Retreats
Snowbird offers weekend and weeklong programming for students and adults throughout the entire year. Carrying the same philosophy as our summer camp programs, Snowbird Conferences and Retreats challenge and refresh students and adults through the exposition of scripture and personal relationships, while providing premier high-adventure recreation. We want to offer more than just a “camp experience.” Presenting nearly a dozen intentional retreat and conference options, we want to see students changed, marriages healed, ministry leaders renewed and churches equipped to raise up generations eager to carry the Gospel to the ends of the earth.
Student Retreats at Snowbird
Everything at SWO points to the Gospel of Jesus. To do so, Snowbird offers year-round retreats and conferences designed for middle schoolers, high schoolers, and college students. Our staff and teaching team will challenge students through expositional preaching and relevant breakout sessions, while intentionally fostering personal relationships using small group meetings and shared experiences.
Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters exists to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the exposition of Scripture and personal relationships in order to equip the Church to impact this generation.
Fall Retreats | September
Snowbird fall youth retreats include 4 main teaching sessions and small group meetings—spread throughout Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday morning. Your students will meet, digest expositional Bible teaching, and work through the day-to-day aspects of following Jesus. We also like to play—really hard. Your students will have plenty of high-ropes recreation on Friday night and Saturday afternoon.
Winter Retreats | December – February
Planning a winter youth ministry trip can be overwhelming. Planning food, lodging, and a worship band leaves little room to build relationships. We drop the logistical hassle by partnering with student pastors to reach their goals. We will plan everything for you so you can enjoy the weekend—and your students will build relationships that point to Christ. Small group leaders will partner with your church on a close staff-to-student ratio, making sure plenty of time to process the teaching they sit under.
Purity Retreat | February
The Snowbird purity retreat, Pure & Holy, will help your students understand how to pursue purity and holiness—as a key part of their faithfulness to the Lord. By his Spirit and through his Word, he has given us everything we need for life and godliness.
Spring Retreats | March
Our spring youth retreats are packed with four main teaching sessions and small group meetings—spread through Friday night to Sunday morning. Your students will meet, digest expositional Bible teaching, and work through the day-to-day aspects of following Jesus. Your students will be able to grow in their relationship with Jesus and get equipped to go out and make disciples. There’s something about having fun together that builds relationships during a trip to Snowbird, and we don’t want you to miss out on that.
Christian School Retreats | March & September
We build long-term partnerships with Christian schools to help schools invest in their students’ spiritual growth. Our year-round team provides biblical teaching and Gospel-centered interaction applied in the context of high-adventure recreation and personal relationships.
College Retreat | January
Scripture commands us to be aware of the attacks we face and equip ourselves to be a light in a dark world. The Snowbird College Retreat is designed to equip you to grow deeper in your faith, renew your mind, and engage the culture around you.
