Our Winter Retreats are ideal for youth groups who want to grow together but also want options.
We have LOTS to do and have built in time for YOUR group to do your own thing. Big Chill makes things EASY for you because it is all planned and ready to go- all you have to do is get the teens here and then enjoy and grow with them. More speaker info and details to come.

Schedule
Big Chill 1: February 2-4, 2024 with Pastor Peter “Bullet” Hill – Ottawa Center Chapel, Coopersville, MI
Bullet is just old enough to have lots of camp, mentoring, and youth pastoring experience but still young enough to be cool and on the cutting edge for teens! (okay, that’s debatable, but he knows what they’re going through).
Big Chill 2: February 9-11, 2024 with Pastor Ryan Bettinger – Northline Church, Taylor, MI
We’re thrilled that Pastor Ryan will be back after popular demand. He delivers solid truth in easy to apply and easy to remember sessions.
Big Chill 3: February 16-18, 2024 with Pastor Jay Currie – Hope Community Baptist Church, Sterling Heights, MI
A college basketball star (the star part declared by us) and an avid sports fan, Pastor Jay loves to bring the love of Jesus through the avenue of sports! He is finishing his Master’s at Moody and serves in Macomb County through sports, music, and pastoral ministry!

Youth Leaders follow the instructions below to register your group:
- Call 269-623-5168 to set up your church as a group
- Instruct each person attending to register online selecting your church from the drop-down menu on the registration form and entering your discount code (if you have one)
Groups of 10 or more can enjoy a group discount and registration. We will work with your group leader to establish group size and payment options.
Determining group size: Group leader will provide an estimate number for their group. That many spaces will be reserved for you. 2 weeks before the retreat Group Leaders will need to turn in a group guaranteed minimum number. Your group will be responsible for payment of the agreed upon minimum number. You can call at any time to add to your numbers (based on availability).
Determining Group Payment Options: Group leaders can choose between paying as a group (Leader collects the money and brings it to camp as one payment) or each student/leader paying online. EITHER way, all students and leaders need to register online (if paying as a group, your group code will make the total $0 online).
