For the past 8 years, Spring Retreat has been one of the most impactful weeks of the year for students across the Gulf Coast — a time set apart for worship, teaching, community, and spiritual growth.
Originally started through Calvary Chapel, Spring Retreat has grown into a multi-church gathering where high school students come together to encounter Jesus in a powerful and intentional way. After helping lead this retreat for the last eight years, 850 Student Ministry has been invited to take the lead in it's 9th year for Spring Retreat 2026, continuing the same heart, structure, and gospel-centered focus that has defined it from the beginning.
This year’s retreat will be held March 16–19, 2026, at Camp Victory in Samson, Alabama, and will include students and leaders from churches across the Gulf Coast. Our mission is simple: to create an environment where students can step away from the noise of life and draw near to Christ.
If you would like to support Spring Retreat through sponsorship, giving opportunities are available. Your partnership directly provides student scholarships, retreat resources, and the materials needed to make this life-changing week possible. The cost per student is $250, which includes lodging, meals, and activities. To keep the retreat affordable, we need to raise a minimum of $5,000 to cover supply and equipment costs.
