Guys’ Weekend will create a space where guys in 5th – 10th grades can unplug from everyday life and refocus on what is truly important. Throughout the retreat at Valley View Camp in Greenbrier, Tennessee, on Friday, October 16 – Sunday, October 18, 2026, they’ll experience large group worship, intentional breakouts, and fun activities.
*New this year: Flag Football Tournament

Volunteer as a Retreat Leader
We love to have dads and other men invested at Long Hollow attend as leaders, as well as Juniors and Seniors to help guide our guys as they study God’s Word. All adults who work with Long Hollow Students are required to submit a leadership application, information for a background check, and undergo sexual abuse prevention training.
