Faith, Friends & Fun

You do not want to miss this amazing weekend away!

Join young adults from all over to unplug from the busy pace and relax, reflect, and have some fun at the beautiful location of Camp Qwanoes.

On top of all the time for spiritual renewal and encouragement, worshipping God through music and the Word, this weekend is a ton of fun! Many of our recreational activities will be open and waiting for you! Like the Challenge Course, featuring the Screamer and SkyScraper, plus our Escape Room, and much more. The best part? You get to do this with friends that you came with, and friends that you will meet.

Whether you are finishing a year at college or university, or have spent the year working or doing some travelling, we can’t wait to welcome you here.

Key Details

🎤 Speaker: Andrew Shields

Andrew grew up with a dream to design video games. After landing his dream job designing Xbox video games at Microsoft Studios, he sensed a deeper calling to journey with people as a pastor and see people’s lives transformed by Jesus. He now pastors at Village Church and holds a Master of Divinity degree from Northwest Baptist Seminary. Andrew loves wilderness adventures, deep conversations, and practically every sport invented… except for grass hockey. Look forward to a weekend of deep meaning and spiritual encouragement.
