“Summit's Pocket Wilderness retreat is a must. It serves as an opportunity to ‘retreat into the silence’ escaping the clamorings that have become apart of our everyday lives. As scripture urges us to, ‘be still & know that He is God,’ the Pocket Wilderness retreat has perfected this by creating an opportunity for faith to be practiced in His creation.”

  • Travis, Pocket Wilderness participant

“I feel like I'm still growing & still learning & continuously I'm impacted daily by Summit. I have learned I like the outdoors through camping. By doing cohorts/Bible studies I'm learning how to heal from past traumas & hurt in a biblical, healthy way. I don't think I would have been able to in other circumstances.”

  • Sandy, WILD Participant

“I am beyond thankful for these men, the amount of wisdom & encouragement that I receive from them may be the most I have received in my life. ”

  • Brett, Discipleship Cohort participant
