If summer is the super bowl of student ministry then influence is your QB

Students in session on JHigh Catalyst (8th gr leadership team) Retreat

This summer we have already held 3 of 4 retreats we host each summer. Beach Retreat is the biggest, baddest, and boldest, but we also see tons of influence (read leadership) opportunities in taking smaller groups of potential carrying leaders away for 1-2 days to invest in those students. Here is what we do each and every summer:

Summer retreat / purpose / who

Beach Retreat/ outreach&influence/ any student

Fish Camp/ HS prep&influence/ freshmen and upperclassmen leaders

Catalyst Retreat/ JH Leadership&influence/ 8th grade

HS Leadership Retreat / HS student leaders&influence/ any HS student

How are you using this summer to influence those around you for the cause of Christ? Your family, your spouse, your kids, your church?
