Summer Camps

What's the big deal about Summer Camp?
Summer camps are awesome! Both of our camps are programmed to be a ton of fun. Whether you're enjoying the beauty of God's creation in Colorado by tearing up the white water rafting, or in Florida by enjoying the white sand beaches, you are going to have a great time. Camps are a great opportunity to build deep, long lasting friendships, and a great way to get connected to the student ministries group. On top of all of that we will be challenged and inspired as some of the best leaders lead us in a time of Bible study and worship. Come join us for a week of fun with friends and God.
