About the Spring Retreat
The Spring Retreat is an opportunity for any Red Rocks Youth Student to escape to the mountains and enjoy a break from their everyday schedule. This is a special weekend for students in 6-12th grade. We go up to Crooked Creek for a weekend to encounter God, deepen friendships, and have a lot of fun! There will be times to compete in team competitions, worship, pray, and draw closer to God throughout the retreat. This will be a special weekend, and you don’t want to miss it!! Mark your calendars for the weekend of April 21-23.
If you have any questions about the retreat, visit our parent guide that walks you through activities, the typical weekend schedule, transportation, what the dorms and cabin time looks like, safety, medical staff, and much more!
