Sat afternoon
When the leaves start to turn, Camp Joy comes alive again for the Teen Fall Retreat. Open to ages 15–19, this October weekend is a shorter but no less meaningful version of the summer camp experience — with Bible teaching, worship, and the kind of friendships that last a lifetime. Check-in begins Thursday at 4:00 pm through Saturday afternoon at 3:00 pm on the Camp Joy grounds.
The Teen Fall Retreat is everything you love about summer camp — packed into one powerful weekend. Same grounds, same staff, same heart. Just shorter.
Whether it's your first time at Camp Joy or you've been coming for years, the fall retreat is a chance to slow down, connect with God, and build friendships that carry you through the school year.
Packing for the fall retreat is simple — bring what you'd bring for a weekend camp stay. Bible, journal, bedding, personal items, and a willingness to be present.
The retreat runs from Thursday afternoon to Saturday afternoon. Check-in begins at 4:00 pm on Thursday and the retreat wraps up at 3:00 pm on Saturday.
