CAMP 2026

CAMP is the highlight of the summer! We head to Lake Geneva Christian Center in Alexandria, MN during the first week of August, and it’s an unforgettable experience for students finishing grades 6–12 this school year.

From Monday through Friday, students will have an absolute blast at REC, build real and lasting friendships, encounter powerful moments of worship, and hear relevant, life-shaping messages from incredible communicators.

WATCH HIGHLIGHTS FROM LAST YEAR

We have a NO PHONE policy for this event, and here’s why:

1) It can ruin the experience.
Unfortunately, phones have been snuck into past camps and ended up being lost or stolen. When that happens, it can completely derail a student’s week and take away from the meaningful and fun moments CAMP is all about.
2) It helps keep students safe.
Without phones, it’s much easier for our leaders to maintain a safe environment. Phones can sometimes lead to situations like students sneaking out at night or connecting in ways that go against expectations. This policy helps us ensure everyone stays where they’re supposed to be and remains safe.
3) It removes distractions.
CAMP is designed to be a chance for students to unplug—free from notifications, social media, and constant communication. We want them fully present: building friendships, engaging in worship, and growing in their faith without distraction.

How you can help:
Please have your student leave their phone at home, or they can turn it in at check-in before boarding the bus.

If you need to reach your student during the week, you can call or text Caymen at (641) 990-3094.
