High School Fall Retreat 2026

November 6–8 • Bellingham, WA
Cost TBA:

A Weekend to Slow Down, Listen, Play, and Grow
Step away from the rush of life and spend a relaxed weekend with friends by Birch Bay. We’ll worship together, hang out together, and rediscover how good it feels to slow down and truly listen to God and to each other.

Theme: Be Here

This is an invitation to slow down.
To put down the noise and distractions.
To pay attention to God.
To listen to Scripture.
To notice the world around us.
To create without needing to be perfect.
To listen to one another.
To share a table.
To notice the good in each other and speak it aloud.

Afternoon Adventure: TBA

Life Together
We’ll cook meals, play games, share conversations, and enjoy plenty of unhurried time together. It’s a simple weekend — but one that’s full of meaning.

Flexible Timing
Because this retreat is local (right here in Whatcom County), you’ve got some flexibility. Can’t make it Friday night? Join us Saturday morning before the boat cruise. Need to leave early? No problem — just be there as much as you can. If you need flexibility, talk with us — we’ll see what we can do to make it work!

Next Steps
Fill out the registration form (coming soon) and make your payment…then get ready for a weekend to breathe, listen, and grow!
