November 6-8 | Camp Au Sable
HI-C Retreat
Hi-C Retreat is a weekend at Camp Au Sable for public high school and university students, filled with spiritual growth, fun activities, meaningful connections, and the annual Hi-C 500 go-kart race!
This year, Pastor Junior Vertus, who has spent much of his ministry working with young people, will explore the theme “Backwards.” What if we’ve gotten Christianity backwards? Instead of trying to be good enough to reach Jesus, we’ll discover how knowing Jesus is where Christianity begins and how a relationship with Him transforms the way we live.
L.E.A.D.S
CAMPUS LEADS, formerly known as Bible Boot Camp, takes place at Camp Au Sable or in East Lansing at the CAMPUS Center. It is designed for student leaders, aspiring leaders, and campus interns. At LEADS, you’ll receive targeted training to grow as a leader on your university campus. The program focuses on Leadership, Education, Apologetics, and Discipleship Seminars to equip you for effective ministry and service.
Fall Retreat
Fall Retreat is a free weekend event at Camp Au Sable for public university students. The weekend combines spiritual growth, fun activities, and meaningful connections. You’ll worship, enjoy fellowship, and bond with your ACF group and fellow students from your university. Highlights include the PCM Olympiad, where you can compete in challenges, earn points for your university, and vie for the grand prize!
Collegiate Sabbath
Collegiate Sabbath takes place twice a year—once in the fall semester (October) and once in the spring semester (April)—hosted by different universities across Michigan. Students from public universities gather on campus for worship, fellowship, and outreach. Lunch is provided, and the day concludes with opportunities to serve and connect with fellow students.

Through small group discussions, Q&A sessions, and speaker panels, we explore big topics and tackle the hard questions in a symposium-style format.

This special evening celebrates their dedication, leadership, and impact. Following the ceremony, the CAMPUS center opens for refreshments, fellowship, and a lively time with family and friends—making it a joyful and memorable night for all!
