Youth Ski Retreat
2026-02-26 00:00 - 2026-03-01 23:59
Join us for one of the most anticipated trips of the year—our SPY Winter Ski Retreat! We’ll spend four days and three nights on Flat Top Mountain in Ghent, WV, skiing, snowboarding, tubing, and growing together as a community.

Whether you’re carving down black diamonds or cruising the tubing hills, this retreat has something for everyone.

But this trip is about more than snow—it’s about what God wants to do in us.

Throughout the weekend, we’ll explore the question:“What does it mean to surrender?”We’ll talk about what it looks like to trust God with our fears, control, relationships, and future—and how choosing surrender leads to freedom, peace, and real life with Jesus. Through worship, small groups, and honest conversations, students will be invited to let God meet them right where they are.

This retreat is the perfect way to reset, reconnect, and refocus before finishing out the school year strong. We would love for all of our youth to be part of it!

These lessons are a great way to help first-time skiers and snowboarders feel confident, safe, and ready to enjoy the slopes.We will also have experienced chaperones and St. Paul leaders that can also assist and support those who need additional help learning the ropes.If your student is interested in taking lessons, please reach out to Laura Marvets in advance, and we will take care of booking the lesson for them.

It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxing day with friends, explore the grounds, shop local goods, and share a meal together—all in a charming Southern setting.

This event also has a purpose beyond the fun: proceeds from our trip will help support the Circles Program at Open Door Community House in Columbus, GA. Circles is a transformative ministry that walks alongside families in poverty, helping them build supportive relationships, gain life skills, and achieve long-term stability and success.

It’s a day of connection, beauty, and impact—and we’d love for you to be a part of it.

Come enjoy a meaningful day with us—and support a great cause while you’re at it!
