Our Youth Development Programs are for teens interested in learning more about God, who are willing to serve and desire to develop leadership skills. Participants sleep in tents, cook over a fire and spend time building meaningful and lasting friendships in a group of 10-14 people. These programs require an application form which can be download below each listed camp.
The GO Team is a one week program in which campers engage in service projects, camp activities, and enjoying the outdoors. They also have opportunities for personal growth and to learn more about God.
Graduates from this program maybe be eligible to come back to camp the following summer and help in the kitchen or on maintenance or take the LDP or Rhythm. The Go Team live in their own tent village separate from the main site. Two staff lead this program with 12 youth.
