What started out with two youth groups as a retreat in 1982 in Pigeon Forge, TN has now spread to more than 12 locations and more recently across the world in Asia and Europe. From the Great Smoky Mountains location in Knoxville, TN hosting the largest Winterfest with a record number of 22,000 students all the way to Manila, Philippines with 2,500 students and is growing each year. Several hundred youth groups and their leadership attend, numbering into the thousands. The program is designed for ages 13-up. Special featured musical artists, Christian comedians and nationally known guest speakers offer a variety of ministries to teens. Worship and praise are emphasized during the evangelistic services.
Students have a hunger for God more than ever in this day. They are coming together and uniting in Christ to worship and hear the Word of God preached with hundreds saved through each conference. Year after year teens are joining each other in fellowship and igniting the fire within to spread the Word to a lost and dying generation.
