HIGH SCHOOL
CAMP

Our goal with high school campers is to give them confidence to mobilize their faith! We know how important it is for high schoolers to find purpose and community.  We aim to do this by providing the experience of the fun of camp and encouraging them to step outside of their comfort zone both in activities and with intentional conversations prompted by our staff. We want them to ”own” their faith and have courage to participate in the Great Commission – to go and make disciples. During the week we cultivate a safe space for campers to ask questions about their faith and pursue discussion with their peers and counselors.

Our counselor Impact

Camp counselors play a distinct role in the summer camp setting. They are the leaders. Mentors. Mediators. Parents-away-from-home. And they can be some of the most influential people in a young person’s life.

Whether it’s teaching kids how to make friendship bracelets, playing in the pool with hundreds of wild campers, or having deep conversations, camp counselors get to share their hearts of gold with  children who never forget them.
