Testimonials from Student Pastors
Relational Discipleship
Very satisfied with the relational aspect Snowbird brings to each group and investment in students on a personal level.
Andrew
Sound Expositional Teaching
There is nowhere else that I know of that has teaching as sound and equips staff to engage students on such a personal level.
Ryan
Well-trained Staff
We were very impressed with your staff! The college-age staff you have on hand were great and very well trained. We were impressed by their spiritual maturity as well.

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. This Gospel-driven mission is what every one of our retreats is focused on.

What do Snowbird Purity Retreats look like?
This weekend includes solid biblical teaching, Gospel-focused worship, high-adventure recreation, and small groups with your best friends.
What recreation options do you provide?
Recreation at the purity retreat will include 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 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.
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 there are any remainings spots open for the retreat. However, you’ll want to only register spots that you’re certain 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.
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.
