Youth Ridge Camp

Overview

Each July, 180 students from 6th to 12th grade spend a week at our ridge campground — mornings in Scripture, afternoons on the trails or serving local farms, evenings around the fire with the worship band.

The challenge

Teenagers inherit faith best through belonging before believing. A single weekly meeting wasn't building the deep friendships that carry faith into adulthood.

Our approach

• Small cabin groups of ten with two trained leaders each.
• One full service day: campers pack the valley's backpack meals.
• Phone-free week with journals, hikes, and honest night talks.
• Scholarships cover every family that asks — no one stays home for money.
