6th Grade Retreat – Sky Zone Trampoline Park
The 6th grade retreat is an exciting way to kick off middle school life at Cole Valley Christian. Students head to Sky Zone Trampoline Park for a day of high-energy fun, laughter, and community building. More than just jumping and games, this retreat helps students form new friendships, begin building trust with classmates, and discover that growing in faith can be joyful. It’s a memorable first step into middle school, where relationships are formed and students are reminded that life with Christ is full of joy.

7th Grade Retreat – White Water Rafting & Ropes Course
In 7th grade, students take on adventure together with a retreat that includes white water rafting and a ropes course. These activities are not only thrilling but also provide powerful lessons in teamwork, courage, and perseverance. As students encourage one another through challenges, they deepen existing friendships and build new ones. Through reflection and worship, they are reminded that faith is strengthened when we trust God—and each other—through every twist and turn.

8th Grade Retreat – Quaker Hill Weekend
The 8th grade retreat is a weekend away at Quaker Hill, designed to help students pause from the busyness of life and spend intentional time with their peers and with Christ. With a balance of teaching, outdoor activities, worship, and plenty of bonding time, this retreat becomes a milestone in their middle school journey. Students leave with stronger friendships, greater confidence in who God has called them to be, and a deeper understanding of what it means to live as His disciples.

High School Retreat – Washington Family Ranch
Our High School Retreat at Washington Family Ranch is one of the most anticipated events of the year. Over the course of several days, students experience unforgettable moments of community and faith through powerful worship, inspiring messages, fun activities, class skits, and plenty of downtime to connect with friends and mentors. For many, this retreat is also a time of spiritual breakthrough, with opportunities for prayer, renewal, and even baptisms. More than just a trip, the High School Retreat is a life-changing experience where students grow closer to one another and draw nearer to Jesus in ways that stay with them long after they return.
