High School Camp

High School Camp 2026

Theme: Eyewitnesses of His Majesty

High school is a crucial time when young people begin to grapple with some of the toughest questions they will face: “Who am I? Why am I here? What is my place in the world?” Yet, many of the answers given to high schoolers today come from a culture increasingly distant from biblical truths. To openly be a Christian faces more scrutiny and ridicule than it has ever before, and there are waves and winds of doctrine and the trickery of men aiming to hinder or even shipwreck the faith of young believers.

The burden of High School Camp is to provide an environment where young people can explore these questions in the safety of the household of God, the church, the pillar and support of the truth. A young person who knows God’s purpose and promises has a hope anchored within the veil; one who knows the Word of God and obeys it has a house built on a solid foundation; and one who has experienced the fellowship of the church, a family that can’t be torn apart, knows where they belong.

These three focuses, God’s purpose, the Word, and the practical church life will be experienced through ministry, singing, small group discussions, activities, fellowship with younger and older, reading the Word, prayer, and reflection. Young people will be given a taste of how to have a healthy life with Jesus in the context of a loving church life, as well as having a lot of fun with one another. We hope to encourage a generation to know the Lord, to love the Lord, and to contribute to the building up of the family of God.

This year’s theme will be: Eyewitnesses of His Majesty

Are YOU as bold as the Apostle Peter? Could you grab a crippled man’s arm and say, “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!”? Well, maybe not yet, but you might be somewhere earlier along Peter’s spiritual pathway. This year’s High School camp we will look at Peter’s life — from his beginnings as a fisherman called by Jesus, through awesome and depressing spiritual experiences along the way, to his final form as APOSTLE and WITNESS of Christ. Come to hear about what made Peter able to say “we were eyewitnesses of His majesty”, and come to see Jesus’ majesty for yourself too.
