Ironman Spring Break Retreat –
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!

Training Challenges

Each year before Ironman we ask students & leaders to do a few things to intentionally spiritually prepare for the time we are going have together in California. This year we are asking everyone to commit to completing four challenges.

1. Read the book of Nehemiah
2. Memorize Nehemiah 1:4-11
3. Take a Personal Spiritual Retreat Using Our Guide
4. Intentional Conversation with a Friend Using Our Guide

The first step is to download our Ironman Training Guide or pick up a physical copy at Calvary. It will help you work through the four challenges.

Drop-Off and Pick-Up

Drop off will be the evening of Friday the 17th and pick up will be in the evening on Thursday the 23rd. Please check back here for more detailed drop off and pick up information as the trip gets closer.

We will use a combination of church vans and a charter bus for our trip out to California and back.
