As your child grows into their early teen years, there are numerous external pressures they face.
Junior High Camp offers your child the opportunity to be unplugged from the world and plugged-in to who God has called them to be. Based at Adventure Outpost, this rustic one-week camp will allow him or her to experience the Lord in creation, chart new adventures, and enjoy relationships with staff and fellow campers based around the truth of God’s word.
Please Choose One:
In 2025 several school districts are running later than normal, affecting many students’ ability to attend camp this year. It is our goal to offer camp for as many people as possible. There is no overnight option between Step Up and Junior High Camp. We recommend registering for either Step Up or Junior High Camp, not both. That way there is space for those who are unable to attend Step Up due to their school schedule.
Registration:
Those entering 7th grade also have the option to attend Boys or Girls camp. Those entering 9th grade can take an adventure with a Journey Beyond trip!
