When is Camp and what to expect?

It’s a four-day, three-night experience packed with powerful worship, incredible speakers, and messages that will challenge and inspire students right where they’re at. Plus, there’s tons of time for fun — we’re talking games, competitions, late-night hangs, and all the camp memories you could dream of.


Why should I send my student to camp?

CY Camp is a space where students will encounter God in a real way, build meaningful friendships in their small groups, and discover His vision and purpose for their lives. Trust us — this is a week they don’t want to miss!
