February 20-22, 2026

NorthBay Adventure Camp
11 Horseshoe Point Lane
North East, MD 21901

Registration opens Jan 11, 2026

Our Student Retreat is designed to be a time of fun, friends, and great memories. But even beyond that, it’s a time for the students to be built up as believers, refueled to tackle the rest of their school year for Christ, and possibly hear for the first time what Christ has done for them. The Student Retreat is a highlight for many students and could be the place that helps them turn the corner in their spiritual walk!

This February, students from the East Coast Great Commission Collective (GCC) Churches will once again be headed to NorthBay Adventure Camp, where they’ll hear from Pastor Jared Schnapf, from Mission Church, on what it means to live their lives “Full Send” for Christ. Inspired by a term popularized in the world of extreme sports, “full send” means committing to something with 100% effort, enthusiasm, and intensity, without holding back. It implies going all-in, embracing risk, and acting with a disregard for consequences. Imagine if you lived like a “full send disciple” – this is what Jesus taught when He called people to follow Him. Jesus called people to count the cost of following Him, and that it would be worth it. The goal of the disciple is to live full send, making other disciples, so God’s Kingdom will be built. Our Student Retreat 2026 will study, exhort, and challenge students to become full send disciples so they can honor the commitment Jesus called His followers to.
