A 12-day Biblical Worldview Conference & Camp for Young Adults

Summit’s conferences empower students to impact culture with truth while building lasting relationships.

Summit’s Student Conferences are for young adults who refuse to settle. It’s for those ready to take risks, ask big questions, and push past what’s comfortable. Here, you’ll find friends who understand and mentors who will help you discover what it truly means to live with purpose.

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.

Looking for a conference for younger students? Check out Summit Online, a program designed for parents and teens (ages 13+) to learn and grow together.

As young adults navigate today’s world, many feel disconnected from their faith—they don’t regularly attend church or make decisions based on biblical truth.

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!”

—Summit Graduate Parent

“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."
Lysa Terkeurst President of Proverbs 31 Ministries

“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.”
