Student Camp
NV Camp: Revive
This summer will be like no other summer you have ever experienced. From June 28th through July 2nd, students will be going 3 hours away to the Smokey Mountains of Ocoee, Tennessee at Ocoee Ridge Camp. There will be spectacular views, rock climbing, zip-line gliding, water park, paintball, full court basketball, volleyball, nine square, gaga ball, and many more exciting things. Most importantly, it will be a time where we can encounter God away from all the distractions in our everyday lives.
This camp is for Middle School and High School students (sign up as the grade you will have COMPLETED during the 2023-2024 school year). We have intentionally placed it during sports dead period, so sports//school activities won’t get in the way of you coming to camp! It will be an exciting week and a time to grow closer to God and to grow closer with your friends.
This year the theme of camp is “REVIVE”. Throughout our camp sessions, we will be reminded that through Christ, we are made alive – but we need to return continuously to that source of life for revival. Psalm 85 teaches that we can thrive in our lives through constant communion in God’s presence. We cannot wait to see what God is going to do in our student’s lives this summer! Don't miss out on NV Camp 2024!
