It’s in the name: Middle school is a journey from one place to another. From elementary school to high school. From childhood toward adulthood. From dependence to responsibility. Our hope and prayer is that middle school is also a journey further up and further into your faith in Jesus. On the Trek Retreat, we come together as friends on a journey, headed in the same direction.  
 
Our Trek Retreat happens every fall in mid-September at Camp Highland in Ellijay, Ga. It’s for 6th – 8th grade students and their awesome leaders. Year after year it proves to be a time of rich worship, teaching, community, and fun. We have three rotating retreat themes that we have found are important and developmentally appropriate concepts to emphasize during the middle school years.  

• Companions Along the Way – Healthy Friendships 
• A Story Worth Telling – Ordinary Witnessing  
• A Story Worth Trusting – Authentic Faith
