Winterfest is a Tennessee Episcopal Youth Retreat which provides a welcoming and safe space for high school students (grades 9th - 12th) to grow in their relationship with God through creative worship, service, music, love, friendships and understanding. It has served Episcopal youth across the State of Tennessee since the 1990's, unifying youth from all over the South to live, play, talk, eat, sing and worship together as an Episcopal community of faith. This four day program includes group discussions, daily worship, singing, dancing, hiking, visiting the beautiful campus of the University of the South - Sewanee, and playing silly games with new friends.

The retreat will be held at the historic DuBose Conference Center in Monteagle, Tennessee, from Tuesday, December 28, 2021, through Saturday, January 1, 2022. The Winterfest staff always plan a big New Year's Eve celebration that cannot be beat!

The base price to attend this four day retreat is $400.00, and a late fee of $50.00 applies to applications received after December 15, 2021.

Winterfest provides a charter bus to pick-up youth in Memphis, Jackson, and Nashville. The round trip bus from Memphis is $96.00 ($50.00 one way). The round trip bus from Jackson is $75.00 ($40.00 one way), and the round trip bus from Nashville is $48.00 ($25.00 one way).

We look forward to spending time with you on the most holiest of mountains to celebrate the brand new year!! If you have any further questions, please contact Caroline Bauerschmidt, the Winterfest director, at winterfesttn@gmail.com.
