Bible Camp Retreat: Camp4Jesus

Bible Camp Retreat: Camp4Jesus

Thu, Sep 3, 9:00 PM
From Adult Bible Camp For Women: All Inclusive Retreat

## Time & Location Thursday Sep 03, 2026, 5:00 PM – Sunday Sep 06, 2026, 10:00 AM Columbus, Columbus, OH, USA ## About the event **Camp4Jesus is the kind of weekend your heart has been craving.** Join 14 other women over Labor Day weekend for a luxury all-inclusive Bible camp retreat designed to help you step away from the noise, feel close to God, and reconnect with the joy, wonder, and lightness you may not have felt in a long time. Set on a property with the perfect mix of luxury and nature, this retreat brings together the best parts of what made girlhood feel so special: laughter that comes easily, late-night conversations, deep belly laughs, a sense of belonging, and the freedom to just be. But this time, it’s wrapped in the depth, peace, and intention of celebrating the women we are today. Think delicious meals prepared by a private chef, meaningful connection, cozy nights, faith-filled worship, little surprises, and space to rest, have fun, and feel like yourself again. After attending women’s retreats over the past five years, I’m creating Camp4Jesus with the very best parts of what I’ve experienced and loved most. My number one goal is to give you the chance to come back to the parts of yourself that feel soft, open, joyful, and fully alive. The part of you that still wants wonder. The part of you that wants real sisterhood. The part of you that wants to be with God in a way that feels honest, peaceful, and close. **No outside noise. Just space re-charge the soul battery, play like a kid, and HAVE FUN.** **WHAT'S INCLUDED:** * 3 nights in a luxury nature home * worship + bible study groups * private chef + all-inclusive meals & drinks * planned camp activities * fitness classes + workshops * wild swimming pool + man made slide * hottub + oversize indoor jacuzzi * acres of private walking trails + grounds * surprise guests & speakers * individual photoshoots (optional) * gift bag and merch **WHO IT'S FOR:** * Women 21+ * Women who are at any stage of their faith * Women who love girlhood and meeting new friends * Women who don't mind being outside for activities * Women looking for something to wake their soul UP! **FAQs:** * Wear will I sleep? - We offer private and shared rooms with provate shower + bath (you'll be treated like royalty) :) * Can I bring a friend? - Yes of course! In fact if you select a private room, you can bring a friend for a discounted price. * Can I drive there? - Yup. There is plenty of parking available. If you're flying in, we can help you arrange a ride from the airport. * Do I need to bring food? - No way! We got you covered and in fact will be spoiling you all weekend. Don't worry bout a thang! * What should I pack? - Keep it simple. Once you purchase your ticket, we'll send you our style + packing guide. **[APPLY FOR OUR 2026 RETREAT](https://forms.gle/Jxm9jpomK13e6tTD7)**
