I've been involved with SWO since 2001 when I was a student camper, and have returned with the group I now pastor several times. Great people, great atmosphere, and true hearts for Jesus. If you are looking for a feel good, watered down, socially/culturally acceptable camp experience, this aint it bud. You will get Jesus, the Bible, and the Gospel from the time you get there to the time you leave. They honestly care about every soul that comes through the gates and desire to see them flourish. Can't recommend them enough!

I wish they had 10 stars tom give. In all my years in ministry this is by far the best place I have found for not just youth but folks of all ages. Camp is awesome! Recreation is the best! More important then that the teaching and knowledge you will receive here is off the chaats. And I forgot to mention the FOOD!!!! love this place and all the staff a+++++++++++++++++

Had a fantastic time here taking our youth group for a ski retreat. Spencer and the staff are absolutely phenomenal. This place is a must go for any church/youth group. They don't just do youth retreats. Check out their website..they do men's, women's and married couples retreats as well. They provide excellent food while you're there. There's so much to do there: three man swing, foam pit, paintball, rock climbing wall, zip line and so much more.

Awful communication and trying to hide behind a policy without taking responsibility for their actions. They are money hungry only, could not care less about spreading the word of Christ. We are disgusted by this organization and would never feel safe sending our child.

I can say confidently that Snowbird is the most gospel-centered, biblically-driven, life-changing youth camp that exists right now. The staff are an answer to prayer when it comes to resources that will serve your students well.

If you want to see your students challenged to be leaders and disciple-makers in their schools and families, take them to Snowbird. If you want to spend yourself for the gospel and your passion is youth ministry, apply for summer staff.

Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters is like no other place in earth. The staff at Snowbird is just top notch and the partnership with each local church is phenomenal. They preach the word of God expositionally and building lasting relationships with students, parents, leaders, and pastors. I could talk about Snowbird all day and the impact this ministry has had on me personally and with the students we bring.

Snowbird is a fantastic summer camp and has great retreats for teenagers and leaders alike! Not only is it the best place I've ever taken a group of teenagers, it is also an awesome place for adults attending their various year round retreats. When attending retreats, camps, or conferences you're always looking to find the right balance of fun and solid, bold, in-depth biblical teaching. Snowbird has found that balance! Through great staff training, excellent staff-to-student ratios, a plethora of recreation activities, and top notch programming anyone who attends Snowbird, whether it be a student or adult, will be thankful they had the opportunity to spend time immersed in this awesome community!

This past summer i went with my church to this camp after hearing nothing but great things about it. I found a lot of that to be true; there were lots of fun activities, the lodging was neat, and the food was decent. However... this seemed to be less of a church camp and more of a conservative camp. I urge you to take initiative to make this a safe place for everyone no matter their political stance or sexual orientation.

Just the way that Brody preaches makes going to SWO worth it every time. I love the area and environment so much, I will apply for Servant Team for Summer 2015. If you're pondering it, GO FOR IT!

Snowbird camp is by far the best camp I have ever been to and I have probably been to over 50 camps.

They are: Biblically SOLID and Grounded in Truth.
Everything there is done with excellence....they don't strive for excellence, they start with it.
Quality and well seasoned/trained counselors all week long.
Challenging messages by Brody and his staff.
I could go on and on but I think you can see......they are STELLAR!

This place is amazing! They have a passion for sharing the word and making disciples while having fun and time doing it. The food was good, the cabins were decent and the campus was so full of activities. Our youth group loved it and we have booked next year already.

Nothing short of incredible! Top notch rec and activities are just where it starts. These staff are committed to the advancement of gospel and the equipping of the church in a way I have yet to see anywhere else. God used the ministry of Snowbird in a huge way right when I graduated high school and they still have an impact on my life to this day. From retreats to podcasts, I look forward to each and every time I get to see or hear these people.

Fantastic camp! We have been the SMO & Winter SWO multiple times. The kids and adults always have fun. The youth group grows closer through the SMO projects. The leaders get to know the kids better and vice versa. The messages are beneficial for youth and adults. They go deeper. This is not surface level stuff. They give scripture to back up everything. The staff are friendly. They care about the kids and are always there to answer questions or just talk with them. I HIGHLY recommend this camp!

I have had numerous camp experiences at various camps over the years. It is safe to say nothing I have done or been to compares to SWO. The GOSPEL focus, their emphasis on discipleship, their passion for preaching sound doctrine are just some of the powerful reason SWO is in a league all its own. There is no doubt God s hand is on this place. Our students look forward to and talk about SWO all year long! If you have not experienced it, make it a priority to do so!

I was so excited to attend snowbird wilderness outfitters summer of 2017, but what greeted me was an overcrowded, lackluster experience.
Pros- great band
Great speakers
Great counselors

Cons - When we arrived we we're greeted and were told to sign up for activities. How do we sign up / rules for signing up? Like how many on/ off campus? Very little info given. When we got to the snack shack( where we register) lines upon lines awaited us. We waited outside for an hour, before we could even start registering. When we did start to register, all the things I stood in line for were full! I got to sign up for ONE of the three things that I wanted (paintball) and one other. They actually ran out ANYTHING for us to do on my third spot, leaving me with an empty day to do nothing on a rec day. Frustrated and hungry, I went to dinner. I remember saying to my friend, "they better have great food if they put us through all this" I was confused when I arrived at the cafeteria, when we waited for another half hour just to get into the cafeteria. It was obvious that cafeteria was way too small to accommodate the number of people attending, due to no where to sit and when you did sit, your chair back touched the person behind yous chair back. When I got my food, I was astonished, how much did I pay to go here? The food was a joke. That night, we were served pork that wasn't prepared properly so it was practically inedible, the applefriter was soggy and mushy and gross somehow, and the trend continued. The only things I look forward to are things like beans and microwave pancakes because they don't make them themselves. For lunch we got FIVE NACHOS. it was a comical sight to see everyone run to the salad bar to compensate the hilariously small portion sizes. How are we supposed to go white water rafting if we are starving and have no energy? Or, is this all a scheme to get us to buy food at the snack shack? Either way, the food here is a joke and severely darkens my opinion of the camp, as every meal I arrive happy and hungry but leave hungry and angry. The worship place is overcrowded as well, with people sitting on the floor and chairs so close together you can't stand in some places.

On conclusion what could have been an amazing camp has distracted me with my continual hunger and overall experience with their penny pinching for a not cheap camp at all. Some serious management problems.

This is the greatest camp students could attend. The staff and leadership are amazing people, they love the Lord, and they love caring for and teaching others how to live a life sold out to Christ.

I went to snowbird for the first time when I began working with the youth group at my church... I just got back from my 3rd year there and it seems to get better every year! There is no other camp like Snowbird and it is so obvious that their primary purpose and desire is to share the Gospel. The staff and counselors are amazing and so intentional about building relationships with students. There is also so much growth, fellowship, and fun that happens for both students and leaders in just one week (I learn just as much as my students)... lives are changed at this camp!

Just attended the annual weekend men's "Be Strong Conference". I can't put a price tag or evaluate on a scale with the highest level only being 10. The wisdom gained from a gathering like this, WOW! When God's men come together to worship and grow it is powerful. This camp understands the importance of strong Christian leadership in the home, Church and workplace. They understand the importance of discipleship and where it needs to take place first and who needs to be initiating it. Men, Godly Men need to step up and stop stepping out on their call! Sometimes, more often then not in the world we live in, we just need to hear the truth and have it confirmed through the word of God and other Godly men. If you want to grow in the truth of God's word and want the same for your children, you need to go and you need to send your children or go with them and grow together.

It was amazing they give you so many spiritual tools that are truely life changing. They help you look at stuff at a new way and ultimately helped bring me closer to god and the activities were amazing. I wish I could have stayed longer but I can't complain about this place what so ever.its amazing every church should try to send their youth there.

Snowbird is the best. It is filled with staff who love the Lord and live to spread the Gospel. I ve never felt so at home before Snowbird surrounded by true servants/followers of Jesus. The sermon topics are directed toward what most students relate to. I always got so much out of them that I couldn t write the points down fast enough. The worship at Snowbird is what I imagine worship in Heaven to be like--lots of people just pouring their hearts out to the Lord in song. Also, the recreation is awesome to say the least.

I have experienced many different youth camps and none compare to Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters. Snowbird is a Christian Wilderness high adventure camp that preaches the Gospel on a daily basis, while also having top of the line outdoor recreation. As youth ministry leaders, my husband and I feel 100% confident in what our students will learn while at camp, as well as the safety and attention that has been placed on keeping our students safe. We love Snowbird!

This was far and above the best camp I have ever taken my students to. Biblical faithfulness through the exposition of Scripture and Gospel-Centerdness was a breath of fresh air compared to most Student Ministry camps and retreats. I am very thankful for the work being done at Snowbird. Soli Deo Gloria!
