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

Ask Questions. Build Confidence.
Embrace God’s Truth and Champion a Biblical Worldview.

When today’s culture pressures young Christians to doubt their faith, lose their voice, or drift with the crowd, Summit’s Student Conferences provide a two-week turning point. Summit’s Student Conferences equip 16 to 22-year-olds with the hope, clarity, and confidence they need to follow Jesus boldly in today’s world. For over 60 years, we have equipped students aged 16-22 to defend, own, and live out a biblical worldview.

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 is Recommended By:

“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!”

Sean McDowellAssociate Professor Biola University
"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
Lysa TerkeurstProverbs 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.”
