A Fall Getaway for College Students
UNITED
Fun. Faith. Fellowship.
One weekend. The woods. Your people. God at the center, two hours from campus and a world away from the noise.
What is UNITED
Hit pause. Get united.
College pulls you in a hundred directions. Classes, jobs, relationships, the never-ending scroll. This October, hit pause, and get UNITED.
One weekend. The woods. Your people. God at the center. Two hours from campus and a world away from the noise, we're gathering for a weekend of competition, campfires, real talk, and worship that hits different.
Not a conference. Not a lecture series. A weekend that feels like coming home to something bigger than yourself.

The manifesto of play.
Basketball
