Ironman 2025
A Summer Trip for High School Students
Ironman is one of the most impactful and unforgettable trips we offer at Calvary! For an entire week, students step away from the noise of everyday life and dive deep into their relationship with Jesus—studying Scripture, having real conversations in small groups, worshiping together, sharing meals, and making memories that last for years.
And yes… we’re heading back to California! Get ready for a week packed with community, adventure, and so much fun.
We call the trip Ironman—not because we’re running a triathlon—but because this week is all about challenge, growth, and sharpening one another in our faith. Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”That’s exactly what this trip is built on.
We cannot wait to see how God moves, stretches, and strengthens us as we pursue Him together. We hope you’ll be part of it!
God will grow us and challenge us as we seek him on this trip. We hope you will join us!
