Spring Fling weekend is a great time for youth groups, ages 6 th – 12 th grades, to enjoy recreational activities, meet youth from other churches and participate in youth oriented worship. Students from college ministry teams will lead the groups in worship with thought-provoking skits and fast-paced Christian music.

Participants will learn team-building skills while getting acquainted with fellow youth. Time will be set aside for quiet reflection on scripture passages in small group settings. Participants will enjoy Christian fellowship as they study the Bible and explore how God is working in their lives.

Adults attending the Spring Fling weekend can enhance their leadership skills while strengthening the bonds with their own church youth. While their youth participants are engaged in Bible studies, the adults will meet to share ideas and learn more about working with youth.

Rockfish is a secure facility where youth can safely explore God’s created beauty and also look inward to see God at work in their own lives.

Check in from 7:30- 9:00 pm on Friday, program begins at 9:00 pm and finishes with Sunday morning worship at 11:00 am. The Cost is $65, for youth, which includes lodging and 4 meals. It is $55 for adults.
