What is THE Rock Retreat?

we understand how vital it is to find community in college.

We want to provide students with the opportunity to connect with the local church, campus ministries, and other students to provide a source of lasting community and fellowship based on the truth of the gospel. During the retreat, there will be speaker sessions, worship, small group time, and fun games + activities. The retreat will launch students into their time in college by equipping them with foundational tools to help them grow spiritually for the rest of their lives while introducing them to friends before they even step foot on campus.

What to expect

During The Rock Retreat, you can expect to make close connections with other freshmen (as well as upperclassmen who have been in your shoes), meet with the local ministries, and create a foundation within Christ as you begin your college journey.

A typical day would look like hearing teachings from local pastors, participating in worship, discussing and growing in the Word with your small group, and playing camp-wide games between our different teams. Come ready to see what fun things can happen in the High Country. Maybe even bring a cowboy hat, flannel, and overalls? Partake in some line dancing?

The 2024 retreat will be happening at High Pastures Christian Retreat on August 16-18th in Burnsville, NC (1 hour from Boone)

The Rock Retreat is the best way to end your summer, and get PUMPED for your college experience to begin!
