What to Expect

The heart of youth camp is to put students in a position to experience God, dig deeper in the word & build lifelong friendships. Throughout the days we will have meals together, team games, breakout groups, services, and an all weekend long competition!

ONLY MIDDLE SCHOOL

Our goal is to create an environment that's safe, fun, energetic, and easy to engage for your student. We chose to focus on Middle School so we can bring foundational teachings to them as well as ways to put "Being Christian" into practice in our every day life.

What's Included

1. Lodging & Meals
2. T-Shirt, Lanyard & Bandana
3. Group Games & Activities
4. Powerful Worship & Messages
5. Daily Devotions

WHAT'S NEW THIS YEAR?

This year is going to be jam packed with more than ever before! Day one is about passion and empowerment. We have breakout groups scheduled for students to be able to discover their passion in groups lead by passionate leaders. As the day goes on, the students will be given opportunity to walk out what they learned earlier in the day! Day two will be focussed on fun! Ropes course, climbing wall, axe throwing, archery tag as well as the usual team games and silliness.

FAQ

WHAT WILL BE TAUGHT?

We proudly preach the Bible. We believe that our life experience is meant to be dictated by the word, NOT that the word is dictated by our life experience or emotions. Our Speakers and Leaders all carry this heart. At youth camp our students will be taught from the Bible. Messages will be posted after camp so you can further talk with your student about how they were impacted by youth camp.

WHO WATCHES MY STUDENT?

At camp we have a leader ratio of 1:4 students. The leaders at camp currently serve in our Next-Gen ministry. They live out mature relationships with Jesus in their everyday life, they know and serve your students throughout the month. Leaders have been trained, background checked & are ready to bridge the gap between you, your student & the Lord.

WHY ONLY MIDDLE SCHOOL?

What an awesome couple of years. You're still young, full of energy, and curious. We make it our goal as a youth ministry, especially with middle school to loose naivety, but protect innocence. By focussing on middle school we are able to focus more on their age range of topics and conversations.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS?

We have separate buildings dedicated for girls & guys. Leaders stay in the same dorms as students keeping account for each one. We will have nighttime security & lock up both buildings at night. Lights Out is when students are expected to be back in their dorms & check in with their leader by 10:00pm
