Camps & Special Events

Every now and then, we all need to step away from the normal distractions of life to slow down, build meaningful friendships, and hear truth from God—and that’s exactly what LIFT Gwinnett is all about. This February, students will join other local churches for an unforgettable in-town retreat designed to create space for connection, worship, and spiritual growth.

The weekend kicks off with check-in at Sugar Hill Church at 5:00pm on Friday, February 20, before heading into a full schedule of sessions, worship, and community. Teaching sessions will be hosted at Cross Pointe Church, while students will stay in local host homes with their Small Groups, led by trusted Sugar Hill Church Adult Leaders. Saturday includes a highlight everyone looks forward to—free time at Main Event, plus plenty of fun, food, and shared experiences throughout the weekend.

It will be a powerful mix of engaging teaching, meaningful worship, and fun moments that students will remember long after the weekend ends. The cost is $125 per student, which includes all meals, a retreat t-shirt, programming, and transportation. We can’t wait to see what God does through this weekend together!

*Please note, any students registered after February 6 may not receive a t-shirt.

A weekend retreat JUST for our 6th-8th grade students! We will focus on content and worship geared solely for middle schoolers. This is a great way for MS students to connect to their small group and create lasting friendships as they launch into the new school year. It will be a weekend of awesome teaching, powerful worship, and fun activities!

This year, our High School Students are going to BigStuf! Main Sessions at BigStuf offer students dynamic worship and engaging speakers, providing tools and inspiration to live out their faith. Alongside these high-energy gatherings, students enjoy free time with options like beach volleyball, basketball, or relaxing by the shore. The heart of BigStuf is in Small Groups, where leaders guide meaningful conversations that help students deepen their faith and build a strong, supportive community.

This camp builds friendships and faith through play, creating powerful memories and sparking meaningful conversations in small groups. MIX is where fun meets faith and friendships thrive!
