WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT

This mission would not be possible without our sponsors who believe in us. The Mount Retreat is a 501(c)(3) Non-profit organization designed to serve incoming students at the University of Florida and Santa Fe College. Our mission is to present the gospel and introduce new students to the body of Christ in Gainesville. Before these students step foot on campus or enter their first class, they will have encountered vibrant Christian community which translates into the 20+ organizations and churches we partner with.

Additionally, we are developing leaders with over 100 student volunteers. Our leadership team is ready to train, challenge, and invest in our counselors so they may grow in leadership, wisdom, and service. The counselors will come alongside the incoming students to champion them toward greater love, service, prayer and spiritual discipline during their transition into college. This intentional guiding of students is moving to ignite a movement on campus for the Kingdom of God.

Our annual operating budget comes entirely from donations, as students pay the bare minimum for their stay at camp. All gifts are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law because the Mount is a non-profit organization. Please make checks payable to “The Mount Ministries.” Please notify us with a desire to see your contribution supporting a specific purpose.

  • Supporting our registration efforts by allowing us to table or announcing the retreat at a service during Summer B

  • Volunteers who are available August 9-11 to serve at Southwind Younglife Camp, click here
