Our student team is committed to creating an atmosphere that is real, relevant, relaxed and relational. Where students can come to escape the stress and anxiety of teenage life and find acceptance, support and encouragement to live the best kind of life-the life God made us to live through friendships, spiritual growth, and demonstrating God's love to one another and the community around us.

Check out our programs for Middle School & High School students.

Students currently in 8th–12th grade are eligible for High School Camp.

What: An exciting week of cutting loose and having a blast with new and old friends through a mix of upbeat worship, crazy games, water sports, the blob, and much more. Each student will leave with a message that relates to them personally and challenges them to live passionately for Jesus!

Why: It is tough being a student these days. Peer pressure, school-work, sports, busy schedules and difficult decisions are enough to drive anyone crazy. This is your chance to get away for an entire week and focus on God, make some new friends and create memories with old friends.
