Summer Camp is one of our favorite weeks of the year in the student ministry!

It is a week many students look forward to because of the unique qualities our camp has. Each day is filled with fun games, a variety of activities, lots of free time, worship, impactful talks, and small group break-out times (divided up by gender and age). Students have great fellowship with one another all week long, developing life-long friendships and drawing closer to God at the same time. We hope you can be a part of it this year!

Who this camp is for:
Any student who has completed 7th grade all the way through seniors who graduate in May 2024.

Camp Dates:
June 24-28 (graduated seniors head up on the 23rd)

Camp Location:
Williams Bay, WI (Conference Point Center on Lake Geneva; a beautiful place with lots of fun things to do!). Students will ride up on a charter bus.

Theme:
Hebrews 12:1-2 says, "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God."  We all have a spiritual race to run and yet sometimes, it’s hard to evaluate which race it is we’re running and how we’re actually doing with our motivation, focus, and discipline.  We’re excited to encourage and challenge one another as we all run our individual races while supporting each other as the body of Christ!

Out of this spiritual theme comes our fun theme, which is "Trials and Triumphs" (our fun take on an Olympic theme)!  Athletes must embrace a life of focused motivation, sacrifice, discipline, honed skill, and endurance as they prepare to compete.  Our spiritual lives have many correlations!  We will have theme-related teams and games and students can bring creative costumes to help with team/Olympic spirit (they of course don’t have to dress up at all if they don’t want to).

 

Speaker: Pastor Zach Rogers
We are so excited to have our very own senior pastor,
Zach Rogers, come and be with us for the week of camp!  Zach has a wealth of experience and training in running his race as well as helping others run theirs.  He is very excited to engage our teens for the week and also is ready to have some fun with everyone through the week!  Zach is married to Sheffey and they have three kids; Riz, Raleigh, and Raya.
