Michigan Winter Youth Group Retreats
Bring your group to a life-changing weekend at Grace Adventures. This isn’t your ordinary winter retreat. Grace provides a distinctive experience by removing the responsibility of planning and running a youth retreat, allowing you and your leaders to focus on connecting with and discipling your students. Let us take care of the scheduling, cooking, and speaking so that your youth group can have fun and grow closer to God and one another.
Join us for a winter weekend and experience fun activities like our climbing wall, snowtubing, broomball, horseback trail rides, laser tag, and much more!

2025 Theme: Hall Of Fame
Theme Overview
What makes someone famous? TV stars, athletes, musicians, and influencers are in the public eye all the time. Sometimes we see the best of them, but we often see the worst. There are lots of similar people in the Bible- individuals who did incredible things but also had major failures. In spite of those failures, God still used them to bring Himself glory. He gave them a place in His Hall of Fame – and He can use you too!
Lip Sync Battle!
Get your youth group together and start practicing because we are bringing back the lip sync battle on Saturday night of Winter Blast! Your group will receive a list of pre-approved songs to choose from.
Feel free to bring props, fun outfits, and anything else that might add to your performance. You will be judged on group participation, creativity, organization, and the wow factor! The winner from each weekend will get to emblazon their name on the legendary Adventure Cup!
