Formerly “Dare to Lead”, our new Spiritual Life Retreats are an opportunity for youth to renew their spiritual lives in a way that will help bring them new habits on their journey to be strong Christians in their home situations.

Cost of the event is $65 per person (youth or adult).  $70 per person to stay in the treehouses (limited space available…ask for details).

One adult leader for every seven youth is required.  If  your group has trouble finding help, Camp Lake Stephens can help staff your retreat experience.

The worship leader for each event will be Lane Davis. Lane has been leading worship and speaking at churches, youth groups, and retreats for over ten years.  He graduated from Huntingdon College in 2003 and Harvard Divinity School in 2009.  He, his wife Mary, and their two dogs, Maggie and Berkeley, live in Atlanta, GA.
