SHINE RETREAT

April 9-11, 2027

The Ultimate Annual Retreat for Middle School Students

Are you ready to embark on an unforgettable adventure? Look no further than SHINE, the epic annual retreat designed exclusively for middle school students at Stillwood. At SHINE, you're in for a wild ride! There are wacky night games! Epic activities! Awesome people! Tasty food! Think of all the best parts of a week at camp, jammed-packed into a weekend. That’s SHINE!

Want to challenge yourself this weekend? Try our Sky High Adventure Course. Looking for a sport with a slower pace? We’ve got disc golf! Whether you’re looking for high energy events or low-key hangouts, SHINE has everything you need for a weekend to remember.

And here’s the best part! We’re all about helping people know Jesus, and SHINE is no exception! Join in on some epic worship with an incredible band, and listen in as an awe-inspiring speaker invites you to encounter the God that made it all. Spend time with your youth group, build lasting friendships, and join us as we seek God together this weekend.
