WINTER FREEZE 2025

MARCH 7TH-9TH

This February, SY is headed to back to Woodlands Camp for Winter Freeze 2025!! We’re so ready for this amazing weekend, March 7-9!

What’s Winter Freeze? It’s a weekend away for students, centered around taking time to freeze in the middle of the busyness of life, to focus on Jesus. Our lives are so chaotic with pressure at school, stress at home, drama in relationships, and inner struggles… sometimes we just need a break from it all to spend time with our Heavenly Father. If you are a middle or high school student you will not want to miss this incredible weekend at Woodlands Camp. Even if you’ve never been a part of Sanctuary Youth in the past, we hope you will join us for this weekend.
