Camp is an incredible place for high schoolers to grow in faith, build lasting friendships, and discover more about themselves. At camp, you’ll dive deeper into your faith, exploring what it means to follow Christ while connecting with others who share your journey. It’s a place to develop leadership skills, gain self-confidence, and become more independent. Beyond the activities and adventures, you’ll find a community that supports you, helping you be the person God is calling you to be, all while making friends that will last a lifetime.

We have several camp experiences that are designed just for this age group in 2025. Here are a few for you to choose from!
