For youth who are currently in grades 6th to 12th in the 2025-26 school year + Adult Sponsors*

*Each youth attending must attend with a sponsor. Multiple youth are able to have the same sponsor.

CCIW requires all adults working with youth to submit a background check (at our cost). Additionally, the state of Illinois requires all adults working with youth to complete a Mandated Reporter Training which can be completed online at no charge by visiting mr.dcfstraining.org. Registered Sponsors will receive information about these two requirements via email.

Join us for the FIRESIDE FALL YOUTH RETREAT—a weekend designed for youth in grades 6–12 to connect, unwind, and grow. With great food, fun games, and fall vibes all around, we’ll gather for community and conversation that matters. Inspiring keynotes will spark fierce conversations and help us explore what it means to live with fearless faith. Don’t miss this unforgettable fall getaway!
