What is The Trek & Why do we go?

“The TREK” is a weekend of fun, fellowship, worship and rest. We are getting away from our phones and fast paced lives to slow down and engage with life giving practices that direct us towards God as we focus on becoming resilient followers of Jesus. We are taking a fleet of RVs back to Refugio State Beach where we will enjoy space to pray, be silent, study and meditate on scripture, share meals together, worship, play, nap, hike, surf, grow in relationships, create, enjoy beauty and so much more! You don’t want to miss this!

Finances

The Trek 2027 trip cost of $600 covers all transportation and lodging, activities, the cost of trained, adult leaders, OVERFLOW merch, a trip journal, and all things necessary for a safe and fun trip.

RV Requests

One of the reasons that the Trek has become so beloved and iconic is because the trip is centered around “Family RV’s” (each RV having with one guy and girl leader and students are mixed: grade and gender). One of our highest priorities of this trip is fostering unity among those who are consistently involved in OVERFLOW.  We hope for everyone to build connections with their established circle of friends as well as outside of their small group, and for this reason we do not take “cabin requests”. If there is anything important we should know while creating RV arrangements, please reach out to us. Boys & girls will be in separate RVs for sleeping, with separate bathrooms used for changing, showers, etc (refer to FAQ).
