Off the Grid / October 23-25 / Camp Glisson

Off The Grid, Student Ministry's Fall Retreat, is your student's chance to recharge their soul and fuel their faith while having fun away from WiFi signals and the worries of school and sports. Off The Grid is October 23-25, 2026 at Camp Glisson in Dahlonega, GA - a United Methodist Camp and Retreat Center. It's a place where Fall leaves abound, Cane Creek Falls roars nearby, the mountains surround you, the stars feel close enough to touch, and adventure is always waiting. Off The Grid is a retreat with only the Gainesville First UMC youth group.

Your student can get ready for:

• Ziplines that send them soaring through the treetops and over Lake Neal.

• A high ropes course to challenge themself and cheer on their friends.

• Hikes to a waterfall they'll want to photograph and remember.

• Star-filled s'more roasting that will fill their soul and belly.

• High-energy games and late-night laughter.

• Powerful times of worship and teaching to help them grow in their faith and find their purpose in Christ.

• A weekend away from their phones.

So, start packing your bags. This will be a weekend you do not want your student to miss. 

Payment is non-refundable.
