Camp
After 2 years of prayer and preparation, our new flagship summer event for college bound Christian teens, ReThink College Camp, will take place July 18-21, 2023 at Saint Louis University* in Saint Louis, MO!
Our fully realized ReThink College Camp will offer a limited number of serious students the chance to meet and learn from a diverse group of pastors, professors, authors, and Christian apologists! For 4 days and 3 nights, students will engage in impactful conversations, make strategic connections, and experience campus life at the oldest university west of the Mississippi River.
What do Christians actually believe? Why do we believe it? What makes it believable? How do we live it out and explain it to others, especially on campus? Why does this even matter?
These questions and more will be answered July 18-21, 2023.
*ReThink315 is not directly affiliated with Saint Louis University.

"The mission of the church is clear: go and make disciples. We need to raise up a new generation of disciples who not only heed Christ’s call, but can do so with truth and love in a world that is desperate for both. And that’s why we need more organizations like ReThink315."
