FUEL
July 19-24, 2026
FUEL is our week-long event each July designed for high school students, college students, & young adults.
We make every effort to create an environment that challenges, encourages, & equips students to pursue intimacy with God, connect with others, and ask hard spiritual questions. We have a lot of fun and work hard to help students see what loving God and others is all about.
FUEL is attended by people from all over the country! Our 2023 event was represented by 21 different states.
Our focus during the week is growing closer to God and Jesus, strengthening your faith, and building and strengthening relationships within the Body of Christ.
Registration costs will be available once registration opens!
In general, there are worship sessions, classes, workshops, quizzing, recreation, and small group time, but FUEL is so much more than that. The individual aspects build the day, but the relationships built and the power of God’s Word and presence can’t be fully described by the activities.
There are many opportunities to get to know new people through the different activities, classes and workshops, and in particular, the small groups where you get to know individuals particularly well, and branch out from there.
Our staff puts together some great opportunities for the students. They will have a chance to participate in a week-long class as well as different daily workshops on a variety of topics. During recreation time, there are many different activities offered, from bonsai trimming to board games to volleyball round robin tournaments. The culmination of months of training in God’s Word for quizzers around the country as they compete against different teams for the championship also occurs during the week.

reFUEL has become an extension of FUEL, tying in to the theme of the previous year. There is plenty of fun, worship, fellowship, study, and food for everyone.
The reFUEL North retreat is located at Camp Mack in the beautiful lake country of northern Indiana.
The next reFUEL North will be held in January 2027.
reFUEL South takes place in Louisiana, typically in October or November, and often has the involvement of some of the on campus students from Atlanta Bible College.
ReFUEL North is for students currently in 7th grade and up.
ReFUEL South plans for participants ages 9 through college.
Registration costs will be available when registration opens for these events!
This short, fun-filled weekend is a great opportunity for a mid-year retreat to refuel you during the school year.
It gives kids, who have participated in other camps before, the opportunity to reconnect, and for those who haven’t attended yet, to meet new people and start building friendships.
Throughout the weekend, you’ll have the opportunity to worship, listen to a guest speaker, enjoy some fun games, and eat delicious food!
With a relaxed atmosphere, this weekend is a great opportunity for fun, relaxation, and faith growth.
Quiz-mas retreat
December 2026
Timberland Bible Church partners with TPYM Quizzing to host a retreat for individuals interested in quizzing.
If you want to spend an awesome weekend with quizzers, coaches, and the quiz master studying the material, as well as worshipping God and having a great time, we would encourage you to come to “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Quiz-mas,” a quizzing retreat held in South Bend, Indiana.
The Quiz-mas retreat is for any students who are interested in quizzing at FUEL.
This event is free for students who wish to quiz!
This short, fun-filled retreat is a great opportunity for any student who plans on or is interested in quizzing at FUEL. Connect with other quizzers from different teams, memorize scripture together, and practice your quizzing skills, all while enjoying Christmas-themed treats.
This retreat includes studying the quizzing material as a group, memorizing verses, practicing quizzing skills like jumping and answering questions, and enjoying Christmas-themed festivities.
