At Base Camp Oct 23-24
Revival is a place where we come together to recharge, receive, and reconnect. Because all of us need moments when we’re reminded that God is present, that He is near, and that He loves us.
The Bible says, “Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?” (Psalm 85:6). I love that word: again. Because revival isn’t just something we need once. We need to keep coming back to God for renewal—to let Him break up the hard ground in our lives, make room for something new, and plant seeds that only He can grow.
We’re coming together as a family to strengthen our relationship with God and with one another. To build unity. To make space for God to move. And to rediscover a God who delights in us.
This is your invitation to transformation.

*Times are all flexible. This is not a tightly scheduled outdoor conference. It’s a weekend to seek the face of God, and anything He wants to give us.
SUNDAY AT ALL SITES
10/25
Revival Weekend continues at all sites and online.
Good news: Revival doesn't only happen at Base Camp. We get to bring it home with us and invite our friends and family into it because they desperately need it too. Bring them with you on Sunday to hear how God wants to revive our dreams and transform our lives. You'll experience the love of God and the dreams he has for us that are even more meaningful than we could imagine. Come weary, worn out, and drained. Leave energized, inspired and REVIVED!

What To Expect
Expect all of the elements mentioned above, but also be expectant for God to surprise all of us. Our best-laid plans are only a rough draft for whatever God wants to do this weekend. So be ready for anything.
We’ll cover portolets and firewood. Beyond that, it’s BYOEverything. Allow ample travel time and pack some patience. We’re opening gates earlier this year to welcome everyone! Space is limited– please carpool if you can.
What To Bring
No matter what, these are your must-haves.
- Chairs
- Water Bottles
- Extra Drinking Water
- Snacks
- Drinks
- Food
- Hiking Boots
- Earbuds / Headphones
- Sunscreen
- Bug Spray
- Dress in Layers
- Weather-Appropriate Outerwear
- An Open Heart
If You're Camping
You’re welcome to camp Friday night. Car Camping, Overlanding, and Primitive Tent Camping sites are all available. We can only accommodate single-axle vehicles. No trailers, please. Camping areas will be between a 10 and 30 minute walk to the main tent. What you need to pack, in addition to the list above:
Clothes
Two main ideas: keep yourself dry, and dress in layers. Extra socks, a jacket for night, a rain layer, etc. You'll also want work boots, or something rugged enough to handle hiking in the woods all day.
Toiletries
You pretty much just need Wet Wipes (for pooping) and a towel (like a shammy, just in case). A toothbrush and toothpaste is sort of optional. Don't bother with a razor. You probably don't need deodorant, unless it's that prescription deodorant.
Food
No food will be provided or available for purchase. Pack food for your campsite (and some to share if you'd like)—because good things multiply when we bring them together. Bring food that can be stored without refrigeration, and that doesn't need a whole lot of prep time (unless you're a campfire gourmet). Clif-Bars, jerky, cheese and crackers are all great options.
Drinks
We recommend bringing a drinking water supply for your campsite. We will have limited drinking water onsite to fill personal water bottles. You're welcome to bring adult beverages, but be responsible. This isn't a kegger.

FAQs
Do I have to come for the whole time?
No, you're welcome to come and go as you please.
Do I need to bring money?
We won't be selling anything at the Revival. It's all free. But make sure you read the “What to Bring” section above because we're only providing portalets and firewood.
What is the process for reserving a campsite?
It's first come first serve. We'll have designated areas for car camping, overlanding, and tent camping. We can only accommodate single-axle vehicles. No trailers please. If you are tent camping, you will likely have to hike your gear for at least 1/4 mile (so we recommend a wagon). You'll find designated areas for car camping. Just know the main tent might be a 10-30 minute stroll away…more time to soak in the scenery!
Are there handicapped accessibility or accommodations available?
Be aware that the property is mostly rolling grassy hills with a few gravel roads for access. There's not significant infrastructure or any paved areas. There will be limited accessible parking available closer to the Main Tent than General Parking. This parking area is a 5-minute uphill walk to the Main Tent on a gravel road. Please be aware that our team won't be able to promise shuttles throughout camp. We'd suggest you bring a friend or family member with you to navigate the property and any needs that may arise. We hope to see you there.
Tell me more about the restroom facilities?
Just your everyday portalet. We'll have tons of them. Or you can poop in the woods!
Is this open to those outside of Crossroads?
Yes, EVERYBODY is invited to this.
Can I bring adult beverages?
Sure, BYOB. But the goal of this weekend isn't a kegger, it's spiritual renewal. So be responsible.
Can I bring my gun?
No, don't bring guns or crossbows or nunchucks or any other weapons. You won't need them.
Will there be services at Crossroads' buildings on Revival weekend?
Revival continues at all Crossroads Sites during normal service times on Sunday, Oct 25. Check out your location page for service times and locations.
Will the event be recorded or live-streamed?
Revival at Base Camp is best experienced in person, so there's no plan to live-stream Oct 23-24 main tent sessions. Revival continues at all Crossroads Sites during normal service times on Sunday, Oct 25. Check out your location page for service times and locations.
Are Crossroads' buildings closed during Revival?
Check out your location page for info about Open Hours and Service Times.
Is there some type of age limit for kids?
Not at all—everyone is welcome. But anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult, so you're responsible for your kids when you're out there.
What happens if I have to leave in the middle of the night?
Then don't wake anybody up!
What happens if it rains?
Then we'll all get wet.
Do I need to bring a chair to sit on during worship?
Yes, absolutely. Make sure you read the “What to Bring” section before you come out.
Are there water stations?
We will have a limited supply of drinking water to fill personal water bottles. We recommend bringing a drinking water supply for your campsite.
Can I bring my pet or service animal?
Unfortunately, pets can't come to Revival. If you have a certified service animal you need to bring, email safety@crossroads.net while planning your visit and swing by the welcome tent to let us know when you get here.
