A 12-day Biblical Worldview Conference & Camp for Young Adults
Summit’s conferences empower students to impact culture with truth while building lasting relationships.
The world pressures young adults to doubt Christianity and walk away. For over 60 years, we have equipped students ages 16-22 to defend, own, and live out a Biblical Worldview. Summit’s Student Conferences create a space for teens to wrestle through their questions about life and faith, equipping them to become confident in their convictions and better ambassadors for Christ.
Life-Changing,
Worldview-Forming
Interactive Lectures
Staff build connections with your student through meals, adventures, and 1:1s.
Each day, Summit’s staff spend between 3 to 6 hours connecting with students outside the classroom, joining them for meals, embarking on adventures like paddle boarding, and holding one-on-one meetings. Each staff member has at least one dedicated one-on-one session with each small group student per session, although this often happens more frequently. By being present and engaged in meaningful dialogue, staff foster relationships and provide guidance beyond structured activities, creating impactful connections with students throughout their journey.
Connections that will make you forget your phone
For 12 days, you’ll experience a community like no other. Whether it’s living the dorm life, playing spike ball and volleyball in the quad, chilling in small groups, or exploring downtown Chattanooga, you’ll be so wrapped up in the fun and friendships that your phone will be the last thing on your mind. Those ordinary moments? They’ll turn into unforgettable memories that stay with you long after.
Unforgettable Evenings
When the sun sets, the fun doesn’t stop. Students gather each night for swing dancing under the stars, creating memories that will last long after the summer ends. The evenings here in Georgia are beautiful and perfect for enjoying these carefree moments with your friends.
Epic Mountain Views & Gorgeous Sunsets
Every evening, the sunset paints the sky over Lookout Mountain, setting the stage for beautiful nights filled with reflection and fun. Whether you’re winding down from a busy day or gearing up for the evening, the views never disappoint.
Water Adventures & City Excursions
When you’re not soaking up the mountain vibes, you’ll have access to incredible water activities like kayaking and riverboat cruises on the Tennessee River.
And Downtown Chattanooga is always a highlight. The city is full of life; from trendy coffee shops to unique local spots that you and your new friends will love exploring.

What Parents & Students Are Saying
“My son has a passion and zeal for God and truth that was not there before his time at Summit. He said it was the most important thing he has ever done. As a parent, I have prayed prayer upon prayer to see this light in my children. Summit, you are the real deal! I praise the Lord for what he is doing in and through you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!”

As Gen Z navigates a complex world, many lack connection to faith-based communities—70% do not regularly attend church, and 99% do not make decisions based on biblical truth. This spiritual disconnect leaves them grappling with uncertainty and a culture prioritizing instant gratification over lasting wisdom.
Summit’s Student Conferences provide a path of hope amidst the chaos. In 12 days, students gain tools to identify truth and build meaningful relationships. With biblical worldview training as a steadfast compass, they find clarity and purpose. Summit’s conferences offer a clear way forward, guiding young adults toward a flourishing life. Through this journey, Gen Z can face life’s challenges with confidence and hope.
Recommended by Top Christian Leaders
“Summit was a game-changing experience for me, as a student! While on a radio interview, I was asked, ‘If you had just one piece of advice for parents to help their kids hold onto their faith, what would that be?’ It’s easy, send your kids to Summit!”
"Summit Ministries is doing vitally important work to prepare young people with the truth from God's Word and equip them with a Biblical worldview. As students go to college, I can't imagine a more important investment for parents to make."
“I would suggest to any parent that before their kid goes to college that they would consider sending their student to Summit. It’s a great opportunity for students to deepen their convictions and prepare them for what they are about to face at college.”
