Get Ready for the 2026 Samson Summit: Shirts, Journals, Volunteering & More

 

Get Ready for the 2026 Samson Summit: Merch, Maps, Must-Knows & More! The 2026 Samson Summit is almost here, and we can’t wait to welcome you to Michigan! To help you prepare for a meaningful weekend of brotherhood, connection, and grace, we’ve gathered everything you need to know in one place—from the Summit schedule, camp address and maps to available activities, packing essentials, official Summit merchandise, and opportunities to serve alongside your brothers. GET YOUR 2026 SUMMIT GEAR Want to take a piece of the Summit home with you? The official 2026 Samson Summit shirt is available now featuring this year’s Summit design. And this year, we’ve added something new: a 2026 Summit journal featuring the Written in Grace graphic. Bring it along to capture notes from sessions, reflections, conversations, and whatever else surfaces throughout the weekend. JOIN THE SUMMIT SPACE IN THE APP The Summit doesn’t have to wait until you arrive in Michigan! Join the 2026 Summit space in the Samson app to stay connected and up to date as we count down to the start of the Summit. We’ll use the Summit space to share important updates, schedules, announcements, and everything else Summit-related prior to our time together as well as the hub you utilize during the Summit. It’s also a great place to introduce yourself, connect with other men who are attending, and start building brotherhood before the weekend even begins. Join the Summit space today, say hello, and start connecting with your brothers! JOIN THE SUMMIT SPACE A GIFT FROM COVENANT EYES TO YOU Our friends at Covenant Eyes are helping make this year’s Summit possible, including sponsoring the 2026 Virtual Samson Summit. As a special thank-you for attending the Summit in person, Covenant Eyes is also providing attendees with a promotional code for 30 days of free access to the Victory digital accountability platform. Just use the promo code samson26 to take advantage of this special offer. COME EARLY. STAY LONGER. START THE SUMMIT TOGETHER. Why wait until Friday to start connecting? Join us Thursday for an extra day of fun, fellowship, and time with the guys before the official Summit gets underway. Please note: Thursday is NOT included with your regular Summit registration. It is an optional add-on and requires a separate registration—but adding it to your existing registration is easy! Simply return to the Summit registration page and select the “Thursday Only” option to add Thursday to your plans. ADD THURSDAY TO YOUR REGISTRATION Not sure whether you already registered for Thursday? Reach out to us! We’re happy to check your registration and let you know.
