The Great Escape is both a spiritual and fun retreat for international students and scholars from all religious backgrounds. It is an opportunity to escape the pressures of academic life for a brief period and retreat to a quiet place for some spiritual refreshment and to discover together what the Bible has to say about who we are and how we can live a meaningful and purposeful life. There will be music, teaching from the Bible, and spiritual discussions. There will also be lots of time for fun activities like zip-lining, hiking, outlet shopping, talent show, games and friendship building. This is a college and young adult-focused retreat.

Have you ever walked slowly into deep water until you no longer feel the ground beneath and your eyes barely above the surface? Perhaps you’ve been in calm waters only to have sudden waves make it difficult to see clearly. Trying to keep your head above water can feel impossible. In life, situations and events can have a way of creating that feeling within us. We often find ourselves struggling to keep focused. During the ups and downs of life, it is easy to feel overwhelmed when we try to take on the world alone. You’re invited to escape the distractions of day-to-day academic life and find ways to help Keep Your Eyes Above the Waves
