This Camping Retreat is one of the best ways to meet a load of new friends and jump fully into this missional community called UCM. By getting away from campus for a weekend we hope to bring clarity and a Christ-centered focus to your academic year. You will experience the outdoors, times of worship by the camp fire, moments to escape for solitude and prayer, epic wide area games, delicious s'mores and other camp food, time to chill on the water or go for a hike, and a greater understanding of the life Jesus is calling us to live in our context.
