Jr. High Retreat

A shorter weekend retreat built for junior high students taking their first real step of faith.

The Jr. High Retreat is a weekend away , long enough to get out of the routine, short enough for a first-time camper. Students worship, hear straightforward teaching from Scripture and spend the weekend in small groups with leaders from their own campus.

This is often a student's first overnight church trip, so we keep it simple: clear schedule, plenty of recreation, lots of adult leaders and a Sunday return that gets everyone home in time for school on Monday.

Bring a friend. Some of the best weekends we've had started with one student inviting someone who had never set foot in a church.

What to bring

Bedding

Sleeping bag or sheets, pillow and a towel.

Clothes

Two days of clothes, tennis shoes and a jacket.

Basics

Toiletries, water bottle and a Bible.

Leave at home

Gaming devices and anything valuable.

Parent questions

Is this a good first trip?+

Yes , it's two nights, close to home and heavily staffed, which makes it the easiest on-ramp we offer.

What time do we return?+

Sunday afternoon, back at your home campus. Exact times go out the week before.

Can my student come if we're new to OSC?+

Definitely. Reach out to your campus Student Pastor and they'll walk you through registration.
