Ironman 2024
A Spring Break Trip for High School Students
One of our favorite things as a ministry each year is our Ironman trip. This year we are headed back to southern California for a week of community, hanging out on the beach, incredible worship and teaching and so much more!
We call this trip Ironman, not because we complete an actual Ironman, but we strive to make it a week of challenging and sharpening one another in our faith. As Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” We can’t wait to see how God will grow us and challenge us as we seek him this Spring Break. We hope you will join us!
REGISTRATION IS STILL OPEN FOR BOULDER/THORNTON
GENERAL INFO
Cost
Students will need to bring an addition $50-75 for some meals out during the week!
Please reach out to your campus student ministry leader if you would like to discuss the possibility of a partial scholarship. We don’t want the cost to keep students form participating in this incredible week!
Trip payments for Ironman can be paid in full, but there is also an option to do a $175 deposit. If you choose to make a deposit, your balance will be due 2 weeks before the trip. We will send you a reminder when it is due!

- 10 For 10
