Objective:

To unify Christian students who attend school together so that they can grow together in faith and make a difference for Jesus in their school.

May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

Philemon 6

I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ.

John 17:23

U.P. Bible Camp, established in 1936, is a non-denominational Christian camp located in Little Lake, MI, thirty-five minutes south of Marquette.

Goals:

  • Greater Unity - students will build relationships with Christian students from other churches who attend the same school.
  • Shared Vision - students will gain a greater appreciation for the power of God in them and for their role in building His kingdom in their schools.
  • Focused Mission - students will hear inspiring stories, receive training, and work together to develop their own plan for being a testimony for Christ in their school.

What to expect

Come with your youthgroup, or on your own. During the retreat, you will do most activities with students from your school. The weekend will include worshiping together through music, snacks around the campfire, teambuilding events, testimonies, workshops, prayer and planning with students from your school, and some fun surprises.

Sponsors

Youth for Christ, Upper Peninsula Bible Camp, and youth workers from several area churches. Will your church join us in equipping our youth to shine a light for Jesus in their schools?

Youth groups and individual high school students from all backgrounds are invited to attend this weekend retreat at U.P. Bible Camp.

Warning: God will use you and accomplish mighty things if you make yourself available for his Kingdom purposes!
