Join the Summit
EMBARK ON AN ADVENTURE!
You are invited to take part in the Circle A Summit 2025, a unique, all-inclusive gathering of leaders and trailblazers on a mission to resource the rising generation of Pioneers. This isn't your typical summer camp—it's a distinctive adventure designed for families who want to flourish together.
Our aim is to provide an elevated camp experience in a breathtaking natural environment, allowing every individual an opportunity for adventure, reflection, growth, and relationship building. Our curriculum is designed to prepare our rising generation and the families who support them to live well through the change of an era. We will discuss topics such as virtue, connection, stewardship, and purpose, all with an aim of movement towards wholeness.
At the Summit, we integrate classic summer camp activities with innovative formats, strategies, and environments for learning. Attendees will enjoy high ropes, ziplining, basketball, volleyball, archery, hiking, campfires, putt-putt, gaga ball, mountain biking, swimming, and so much more! Our intention remains to create a nurturing space for the Circle of God's Agape love, where everyone is embraced, included, and cherished. Within this environment, we hold the belief that, collectively and individually, we can become all that God created us to be.
This isn't just an event—it's a movement. At the Summit, you're not just a participant; you're a co-author of an extraordinary story. Are you ready?
Join us for an unforgettable summer experience!

Over 20 years ago, Skip and Susan founded the non-profit named "O.F.I.D.A.", which eventually came to stand for the Open Forum Into Developing Adulthood. It is our dream and vision to continue this mission at the Circle A Summit and beyond. This open forum is a chance for all of us to come as both the students and the teachers, to learn from each other and grow together as we continue to work on preparing the next generation to become all that God created them to be. We will curate content, wisdom, stories, and experience from our community, carrying on the legacy that has been planted in our hearts.
