What is the Summer Beach Retreat?
The day after school lets out, The Student Ministry of Centreville Baptist Church takes a trip to Panama City for a weekend long relaxing trip, filled with worship, fellowship, and fun. Below you will find some frequently asked questions:
-
Each evening features heartfelt worship and a clear, scripture-centered message designed to help you get your life back on track by making Christ the priority. Mornings begin with a focused Quiet Time guided by that previous night’s message. During the morning recap, students thoughtfully combine their Quiet Time reflections with points from the message to write a concise summary of what God is doing and how He is working in their lives.
-
During free time, which we have plenty, students can swim in the pool, relax on the beach, or ride the ocean waves. The big room frequently hosts games, and movies are shown each night.
-
Night Out is an evening at Pier Park where students relax, dine, and have fun together. Small groups are free to explore the shops, choose a restaurant for dinner, enjoy the rides and attractions, and do some shopping. It’s a casual, social time designed for connection and fun, and it’s consistently a favorite among students.
-
Meals are cooked at the camp and part of the overall cost of the trip.
-
The cost of this trip is $160 per student. As always, if money is an issue, it’s not an issue, we have sponsorship opportunities available, so please ask if you need assistance.

The Beach Retreat takes place at a camp called Blue Horizon Retreat Center, west of Panama City. You can find more information by checking out their website at:
