Middle School & High School Retreat

Sign Up HERE

Join us for a Middle & High School Retreat at Camp Horizon—an action-packed 1 night camp experience designed to give students a taste of summer camp before the season begins.

Thanks to a $25 scholarship from the Great Plains United Methodist Conference, the price has been reduced from $100 to just $75. 🙌

Our upcoming summer staff will be leading the weekend alongside area youth pastors, so you’ll get a sneak peek at what summer camp will be like. You’ll reconnect with friends you met last summer, see your favorite counselors, and meet some of the new ones joining the team this year.

What to expect:

  • Action-packed games

  • Delicious camp food

  • Meaningful faith experiences

  • Time to connect (and reconnect!) with peers

  • A true Camp Horizon experience—just condensed into 27 unforgettable hours

If you need a little camp to help you make it till summer… this is it.
