COUNTDOWN TO YOUTH CAMP

Hello parents and students,

We are so excited that you are interested in attending Youth Camp 2024! Camp is my favorite event that we do every single year. As a student going to camp, you can expect to have an amazing week full of friends, exciting team activities, and life changing experiences.

If you are on the fence about going to camp or sending your student to camp let me share a couple of my own personal experiences at camp. As a student I first attended teen camp in 2006. I didn’t want to go initially, but my parents signed me up and made me go. I am so glad that they did! I had an amazing time making lifelong friends and I had my life changed forever. I can say today that I am still serving God because I went to camp. As a leader one of the things I enjoy most about going to camp is seeing our students bond together in a way they never have before. I believe that being a part of a community of believers is necessary for our students to serve God beyond high school.
