Back to The Mountain

Returning to Camp Stevens for our annual Spring Retreat was a gift in every sense of the word. A dozen of us stepped away from the pace and pressure of campus life and into a space where conversation, prayer, and laughter came naturally. Throughout the weekend, we shared spiritual practices that invited reflection and rest, creating room to listen more deeply to one another and to God. Meals around the table, walks beneath the trees, and moments of quiet reminded us how meaningful it is simply to be present together in community.

The beauty of the retreat center itself became part of our prayer. Surrounded by fresh mountain air and what felt like a thousand shades of green, students found space to breathe deeply and reconnect with creation. Whether gathered in discussion, sitting in stillness, or enjoying the joy of recreation together, the retreat offered a renewed sense of gratitude and belonging. In a season often marked by stress and uncertainty, our time at Camp Stevens was a reminder that God continues to meet us in friendship, creation, and the sacred rhythms of shared life.
