This year, students have walked a journey together. In the fall, they were Renewed — reminded that in Christ they are made new. Not defined by pressure, performance, or the past, but by the grace of Jesus. Then, in the spring, they were Refreshed — resting in God’s presence, rediscovering joy, friendship and the steady love of the Father who restores our souls. And in the summer, they will be Revived.
Revival is not hype. It is not emotion. It is the Spirit of God breathing life into His people again. It is hearts awakened to the Gospel. It is faith that moves from belief into action. We are revived in Christ — and revival always sends us outward. Because the love that renews us and refreshes us does not stop with us. It overflows. Into our churches. Into our schools. Into our neighborhoods.
So we end this year not just changed — but commissioned. Renewed. Refreshed. Revived and Sent.
Throughout the week, students will serve alongside community organizations and nonprofit partners who are faithfully supporting the needs of the community. Each evening, we’ll gather for worship, reflection and plenty of fun—growing closer to God and to one another.
We take care of the planning. You bring your students—and watch God work in their lives.
**Participants do not have to be Episcopalian, but must be recommended by an Episcopal Church. Each church will be required to send a chaperone with their students. We recommend the churches cover the registration costs for their chaperone.**
