Winter Camp

Go Home

Four sessions. One unforgettable getaway. 


We're getting away from the ordinary and heading to new heights! As the altitude rises, the temperature drops.


Proverbs 1:32-33 reminds us that foolish choices can lead to destruction, but those who listen to God's wisdom can live in peace, without fear of harm.

Teaching

Your student will hear four Biblical teachings from Jessica Bowman and Nate Molby while at Camp.


We'll face THE FREEZE—recognizing where we've become comfortable, distracted, or stuck.

Experience THE BREAKTHROUGH—breaking free from foolishness and choosing to listen to God's wisdom.

Climb to THE SUMMIT—discovering the peace and security that come from trusting God.

And finally, GO HOME—not just returning to where we came from, but returning with a new perspective, ready to live differently!


Will you listen to God's wisdom or follow your own way?

Phone Policy

We have such an incredible weekend planned with many elements where students will be invited into the something more that God has in store for their life.


Despite their phones constant presence, our students often fail to grasp how deeply phones impact their cognitive abilities and affect their openness to connect socially and spiritually. Because of this, we ask that your student leaves their cell phones home with you.

There is also no phone policy at Lake Geneva Youth Camp as well. We want to make sure we honor this camp as we have built an amazing relationship with them.


And as a fellow parent of students, we want to invite your student into that something MORE this weekend and I know first hand how tempted students are when electronics are in reach.


Students will have access to their leaders phone day and night.
