2017 Inaugural Alpine Camp Senior Retreat

Glenn Breazeale | Oct. 21, 2016

Come join us for a brand new weekend of fellowship, good food, Bible teaching, and spiritual college prep.

WHEN: March 31-April 2, beginning with dinner Friday evening at 7CDT and ending Sunday morning after church.

WHERE: Alpine Camp, specifically the Ridge cabins and Deerfoot Lodge, with all your favorite Alpine meals

WHO: Any male who is a senior in high school this year. Weekend is NOT limited to former Alpine campers or work crew (though we hope all will attend!). Invite friends! Forward this email around to any school or church friends who might be interested.

WHAT: Our goal is to help prepare you spiritually for your college years. You will hear solid Bible teaching from John Stone, Assistant Director with Reformed University Fellowship (RUF). John has spent over 25 years working with college students.

  • Current and former Alpine counselors will serve as mentors for the weekend, leading small group discussions and informal visits, sharing from experience about navigating college as a Christian. We’ll have a panel discussion with practical advice and wisdom.
  • Meet new friends who might be on your campus next fall or reconnect with old friends. Utilize Alpine’s extensive network of churches and college ministries to have Christian fellowship once you arrive on campus. We want to point you towards discipleship and fellowship opportunities in college, similar to what you have known and loved when you were at Alpine.
  • Do all your favorite Alpine activities one more time.  Ropes course, climbing tower, ultimate frisbee, basketball, disc golf, and even skeet shooting!

Cost: $295

Travel: Parents may bring you and drop you off. You may also bring a personal vehicle or carpool with friends with permission from your parents. We will also provide shuttle service to and from the Birmingham airport for a small travel fee.

Rules and Regulations: Keys will be taken up for the weekend if you bring your car. All cell phones will be taken up as well for the weekend. We want to foster an atmosphere of being present with those at the retreat. Alcohol, tobacco, and drugs will be strictly prohibited. Remember that your behavior will affect future employment opportunities with Alpine and beyond.

Like his own father, Glenn grew up as a camper at Alpine for six summers, coming from Jackson, MS each summer. He has served on staff at Alpine since 1997, working full time as Assistant Director from 2003 to 2005 and Director since 2006. Prior to that he gained experience serving in various capacities including cabin counselor, Head Counselor, Head of Project Adventure (Ropes course), Horseback instructor, and Program Director. Glenn’s love of camping and his desire to preserve the traditions of Alpine drew him back to camp to offer young boys the same opportunities he experienced. He met and fell in love with Carter during a Square Dance with Camp DeSoto.
