Who is this camp for?
  • Teens who aren’t sure about their faith and want to explore what God and Jesus are all about.  This is a great camp for exploring what a life of faith might look like for them in a very non-threatening way where they can ask a lot questions.
  • Teens whose faith is strong and want to go deeper.
  • Teens in between.  This is a great retreat because it is SO fun, but also offers kids a chance to think about and talk about issues related to life and faith. 
How much and how do I sign up?
  • The cost is $145 and includes transportation and food and lodging for the weekend.  Download the registration forms and return them to Venture Youth Ministry.
