Marriage Conferences
We all want it: a happy, life-long love story. The question is, how do you create a strong foundation that can carry your marriage from “I do” through decades of life changes and growth? That’s exactly what Love, Sex & Marriage will dive into.
​
During the fall session, Stuart Fuller will teach on how the Lord can redeem, refine and strengthen a marriage. At the end of this conference, couples will leave with a refreshed connection to their spouse!
​
During our spring session of Love, Sex & Marriage, our teacher will walk you and your spouse through the truths found in the Gospel and how to apply them to your relationship. Our prayer is that our couples leave with the tools that they need to maintain and strengthen a marriage.
Apologetics Weekend
Your students are presented with dozens of options about who to follow and what to believe every day. They must decide what is true and who to trust when encountering ideas online or in person. Apologetics Weekend gives your students the information, time and resources to think about what they believe.
Teen Winter Camps
Few things are more fun (and impactful) than a winter retreat experience with your youth group. But, it can be a lot of work to plan and facilitate these retreats. Bring your youth group to a fun-filled weekend and join with other youth groups from around the Southeast where our staff handle all the team activities, top-notch adventure recreation, meaningful worship, and relevant, engaging messages.
Winter Camp Kids
Give your kids a chance to explore camp, listen to teaching sessions, and take part in hands-on learning at Winter Camp Kids! This weekend is thoughtfully designed with kids in mind. Teaching sessions, worship, and activities aim to give your students opportunities to learn more about the Lord in a fun, safe environment. Plus it’s a great warm-up for Summer Camp!
Love, Sex & Dating
Yeah, we know the title of this conference is a little jarring (and a little out of order). We know that you spend time throughout the year counseling your students on these topics from a Biblical Perspective. We also know that setting aside a full weekend to dig into the Word can help reinforce the foundation you have already established with your students.
Rooted
Girls Conference
It doesn’t take long to find hundreds of research results showing that girls as young as 6 years old think about their image. We live in a culture that equates value with beauty and beauty with how thin, wealthy, or well-dressed you are. Rooted aims to create a supported space for middle and high school girls to talk through these issues with their church leaders.
Forge: Father/Son Weekend
Forge Weekend at Awanita Valley is a conference fathers and sons won't want to miss! This dynamic weekend is designed to equip men in various life stages with practical ways to apply the Gospel to their daily lives. Throughout the weekend, your group will engage in discussion groups, hands-on learning, and thrilling adventures. From mountain top rides and horseback trail rides to meaningful personal growth experiences, your students will leave feeling inspired and prepared to live out their faith.
Ministry Leaders Retreat
Ministry leadership doesn't need to feel like a burden or produce anxious thoughts. This retreat focuses on how to enjoy and thrive in the leadership role that God has called you to. We know that the weight of ministry leadership, without time to connect and refocus, can lead you to a place of exhaustion, burnout or even apathy. Maybe you aren’t worn out, but want to learn how to be an even stronger leader with improved methods to help guide your group.
Flourish
Women's Retreat
Every day, women in different stages of life get mixed messages about how they should act, look, and what they should and shouldn't do. Flourish will break down what it means to be a helper, what the Bible says about that, and how that applies to our everyday lives. Spend a weekend with women in different seasons of life, listening to talented speakers and getting some well-deserved rest!
