Message for Parents & Students
Is your middle schooler interested in attending Breakaway 2024? We hope so! This annual fall retreat is one of the most meaningful and fun-filled events for youth groups across the region.
Over the course of one incredible weekend, students enter into an energetic community grounded in faith. They’ll meet new friends, draw closer to God through uplifting worship, consider Biblical insights from our speakers, and return home with memories to last a lifetime.
Breakaway 2024 takes place September 27 – September 29 at the scenic North Bay Adventure Camp in North East, Maryland. Activities include kayaking, beach volleyball, music, ziplining, rock-climbing, campfires, group games, and free time to forge new connections.
The registration cost is $165 per student, with a $30 non-refundable deposit. Check with your church or youth leader for details on how to sign up your middle school student for this transformational weekend getaway!
