Winter Retreat is a weekend to get away from the craziness of campus for a few days, meet tons of great people, play some rad games (do people still say “rad?”), explore Gatlinburg, and worship together!

Play board games, explore downtown Gatlinburg (we’re staying right on the strip!), hang out with a few hundred of your new best friends, study/homework, eat so many fruits by the foot (fruit by the feet?), procrastinate from studying/homework, worship with an amazing band, hear some incredible messages from the one and only Daniel Simmons, and lots, lots, lots more. Winter Retreat is basically like Fall Retreat’s super chill cousin.

Anyone and everyone. Especially you! Winter Retreat is for introverts and extroverts. It’s for people who grew up and church and people who are still searching for what they believe. For people who have never set foot in CSF, and people who basically live here. If you want to have an incredible (and incredibly chill) weekend meeting new people, relaxing, and exploring what it might look like to follow God in college, Winter Retreat is for you.

We’re staying at River Terrace resort right on the strip in the heart of downtown Gatlinburg, TN (240 River Road, Gatlinburg, TN 37738).

Clothes (Cozy stuff for hanging out at the hotel and playing games, swimsuit if you want to hop in that pool, warm stuff for exploring Gatlinburg)
Toiletries (toothpaste, toothbrush, deodorant, shampoo, etc.) + Any meds you take
Towel
Bible (if you have one) + Journal + Pen
Phone Charger

Whatever else you want to bring!

That’s the point! Winter Retreat is the PERFECT PLACE meet new people! We’ll have tons of hangout time for you to play games, explore Gatlinburg, and make a billion new friends. Introverts and extroverts alike, Winter Retreat is for you.

Then you’re out of luck. Sorry!
