Camps & Special Events
We have quite a few things going on in Student Ministries outside of our normal weekly programming!
Retreat
There is something about getting out of your routine and into an environment where you’re away from the normal distractions of life that allows you to focus on developing quality friendships and hear truth from God. We want to give students the opportunity to do this several times a year. Retreats include times of extended worship and focused teaching, extra time strengthening small group relationships, and lots of fun games!
This will be one of the highlights of the year for students, so make sure to get it on your calendar as soon as possible!

Summer Camp
Every year our students rave about Summer Camp, and it’s easy to see why. When you combine amazing worship, powerful teaching, exciting games, and unique activities, you have a recipe for an amazing week. From the high ropes course, zip line, gaga ball, sand volleyball, cornhole, and more, there’s never a dull moment.
We’ve got so many brand new exciting things in the works, and we can’t wait for you guys to experience everything that YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly has to offer. Even though we’re taking Middle and High School to the same place on the same week, we have unique and (almost) entirely separate plans for each group, which all the crazy games, competitions, powerful worship and teaching you know and love from our camps PLUS several brand new things we’ve always wanted to do but have never been able to!
Even more importantly, students have the opportunity to escape the distractions of everyday life and engage in powerful worship, practical teaching from God’s Word, make new friends, grow deeper with old friends, all while creating lifelong memories.
Graduate Recognition
We make a big deal of High School graduation at Sugar Hill Church. We have a special Graduate Recognition day where students are celebrated and encouraged by their church family. As a part of this special day, graduates invite their families, close friends, and their “5” to a banquet where they are further celebrated by our whole Sugar Hill Students team and the rising Senior class. At this banquet, graduates share The Plan booklets with their “5” and begin the process of receiving encouragement to thrive as they enter the post-high-school world. This event puts the exclamation point on our preparation of students to be Grounded For Life.

Pay What You Can
We never want finances to keep a student from being able to go to camp. If you need financial assistance for one of our camps, retreats, or major trips, we ask you pay all that you can and at least cover the trip’s deposit amount. Then, parents are asked to complete our confidential “Scholarship Request Form” to specify the amount of financial assistance being requested. A Sugar Hill Students team member will contact the parent to discuss payment plan options, the amount of scholarship requested, and making any arrangements for your student to be a part of the trip.
