Teen Camp 2025
Teen Camp is here! We are going to Lake Placid June 9th-13th, and we want you and your student(s) to feel equipped and ready for all that comes with this amazing experience. We believe that this could be one of the best weeks of your student’s life, and that means putting aside distractions and fully focusing on God.
We are so excited about what God is going to do during the week of camp!
