BreakThru Student Retreat

A Retreat That Can Change a Life

BreakThru Student Retreat brings students together for worship, fellowship, reflection, and opportunities to grow in their relationship with Christ.

The BreakThru Experience

Step Away. Connect. Grow.

BreakThru is a student retreat ministry with roots going back to 1978, according to the camp's original website. Its purpose has stayed the same: bring students together, away from everyday distractions, for worship, small-group conversations, recreation, and spiritual growth.

Timber Creek Camp was built as the home of BreakThru Ministries, giving student retreats a dedicated place to gather.

Worship & Teaching

Meaningful Moments of Worship

Worship and Christian teaching sit at the heart of BreakThru. Students gather to sing, hear God's Word, and respond, with the hope that they will receive Christ by faith and respond to His call on their lives.

Small Groups & Fellowship

Real Conversations. Stronger Connections.

Students have historically met in small groups to talk through what they are learning, encourage one another, and build friendships rooted in faith.

Time Together Outdoors

Adventure Beyond the Meeting Room

Lakeside gathering spots, open lawns, and recreation areas give students room to play, explore, and spend time together outdoors.

Faith That Continues Beyond Camp

A retreat is only a few days long, but the goal is lifelong: students who go home with a growing faith, lasting friendships, and a renewed passion for making disciples.
