Students spend the week together in the midst of God’s creation playing, learning, and growing in discipleship. We do a little bit of everything – games, crafts, drama, music, Bible study, swimming, boating, worship, and so much more. We even take a field trip to a nearby water park! Some high school students will serve on the leadership team and plan and execute the majority of the activities. Adults serve as chaperones and of course have lots of fun.\nFAQ’s:\n\nYouth sleep in air-conditioned cabins.\nBathrooms are updated with good, hot, water pressure.\nYouth can bring friends!!\nYouth receive three hot meals a day in an air-conditioned dining hall.\nYouth can request specific friends for family groups and cabins.\nCamp begins at 3 pm on Saturday and we will return to Manchester at 1 pm on Thursday.\nCamp Jo-Ota is 2.5 hours away.\nFamily Groups are split into middle school groups and high school groups.\nPacking lists and other important information are sent closer to date to those who register.\nWe bus youth to and from camp, though parents can choose to drive their youth to camp.\n\nThe deadline to register for Spirit Camp is June 28, 2026.
