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.

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.
