Youth Winter Retreat

You are invited to Winter Retreat 2026; a life-changing experience for students in middle school and high school. Students will experience disconnecting from the noise of the world and connecting with one another, nature, and most importantly, God.

As life-changing as Winter Retreat is, it's also tons of fun!

Activities: tons of mini and large-scale games planned by The Branch Students + Camp Tejas activities such as Zip line, Crate Stacking, Climbing Wall, Axe Throwing, One Wheels, basketball, 9 square, gaga ball, tube slides, rec fields, volleyball, kayaking, and more.

Students will have ample opportunities to create and deepen meaningful friendships centered on pursuing God together. They can also expect to worship through music, personal life reflection, teaching, small groups, and other workshops we have prepared.

Dropoff and Pick up Times: Arrive at Wells Branch Community Church (2113 Wells Branch Pkwy, Ste 1300, Austin, TX, 78728) for carpool as early as 5pm and no later than 5:30 pm on Friday, January 9th. Check-in will be at the LFMC and we will have copies of the Camp Tejas waivers to be signed (required for all students). We will depart for Camp Tejas in Giddings, TX at 5:45 pm. If a student is not here by 5:30 pm, their guardian will be responsible for transporting them to camp. On Sunday, January 11th, students will return to Wells Branch Community Church by 2:15 pm. Please plan to arrive no later than 2 pm to pick up students.
