WHAT IS DISCOVERY?
Discovery Weekend is a Middle School retreat, hosted and held at Trinity United Methodist Church. At Discovery, your relationship with God is the focus. This is why we worship in new and creative ways that help you examine your life and understand the depth of God’s love. It’s a weekend where you are not only encouraged to be YOU, but where you might find out more than you ever knew about who you REALLY are!
It’s a jam-packed weekend full of games, small groups, incredible worship, funny videos, skits, DJs, great eats, messages from High School Seniors, and so much more. Parents, don’t worry though, this is NOT a lock-in. We want your students to get as much rest during Discovery as possible so that they can fully participate and share in the weekend!
WHO IS DISCOVERY FOR?
EVERYONE! But, you probably want us to be a little more specific. Middle School Discovery is geared toward Middle Schoolers, and is hosted by High Schoolers and Adult Leaders. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to experience the love and grace of God, so when we say everyone, we mean it. God is the host of this weekend, we are just the guests! Discovery Weekend is a Jesus thing, not a Trinity thing. No matter if you have never set foot inside our church, or you have been here since you started walking, YOU are welcome here.
HOW MUCH DOES DISCOVERY COST?
The Rates are $129 for Middle Schoolers and $109 for High Schoolers (These are Early Bird rates that end Jan 11th). **At Discovery Weekend, ‘cost’ will never be a reason for students to NOT attend this important weekend. We have partial and full scholarships available for ANY student in need. Simply indicate this in the registration process.
