2023 Teen Retreat

Join the FBC youth group for this weekend retreat as we dig into Scripture free of distractions, take steps of growth in our lives, and enjoy refreshing fellowship with one another.

You won't want to miss this action-packed and Word-filled weekend!

While the staff at Camp Sparta takes care of meals and runs activities like tubing and paintball, the program, schedule, and chapels will be run completely by our youth leaders.

It's the goal of FBC to not allow finances to be the one barrier that keeps a teen from going on the Teen Retreat.

We'll be providing multiple opportunities for teens to raise money for this trip:

A fund set for church member donations
Fundraising events run by the youth group
Opportunities for teens to be hired for different jobs to earn money

coming soon

What should I wear?

We'll be playing a lot of outdoor games, so be sure to bring clothes you don't mind getting dirty.
For lake activities (boating, the blob), please wear a dark t-shirt/tank top and swim shorts. Lifejackets are also required for these activities.
Casual clothes are acceptable for chapel services.

Can I bring my cell phone?

You can bring your cell phone on the trip to and from camp, but cell phones will not be permitted during the retreat. We'll collect them upon our arrival and keep them in a secure area until our departure. Youth leaders will have their cell phones if parents need to contact their teen for any reason.

Will there be other teens on the campsite?

Since we have a small group, there is a chance that we'll be sharing the campsite with a second group running their own retreat. Otherwise, it will be just our group and the Camp Sparta Staff?

Will our church be running the retreat or Camp Sparta?

Camp Sparta provides: lodging, meals, and a large meeting facility. They also provide Free time activities including outdoor courts (basketball, court hockey & sand volleyball), disc golf, The BLOB, tubing, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, bonfires, paintball, an indoor activity center and much more!

Our youth leaders will be responsible for the camp program, schedule, supervision, and chapel services.
