We’re excited to let families know that our students will be heading to Falls Creek for youth summer camp June 15–20. Every year, Falls Creek is a highlight for our students — a week filled with fun, friendships, and meaningful opportunities to grow in their faith.
What is Falls Creek?
Falls Creek is one of the LARGEST youth camps in the U.S., capable of hosting up to 7,000 students in one week! One week! That is remarkable. And, while the size itself is pretty awesome, the things that happen during a week at Falls Creek are even more incredible.
What do you do for fun at camp?
Games and Recreation are a major part of camp! They’ve got lots of tournaments in which churches can compete: 3-point basketball shoot out, disc golf, horseshoes, and volleyball, among others. If tournaments AREN’T your thing, maybe you’ll enjoy the skate park, High Ropes Challenge / Obstacle Course, Lake activities, or the hiking trails. And because its nestled in the heart of the Arbuckle Mountains, Falls Creek has some of the best trails to walk. For the truly brave of heart, there is even a 5K run for students and sponsors to compete in.
But the best part of the week… an opportunity to grow closer in your relationship with God. Students will be challenged to engage God in some of the most intense services with amazing worship and in-depth bible study in the tabernacle and in our own individual cabin times.
Where will we be staying?
We will be staying in a cabin #616 which holds up to 144 people (a guys dorm with room for 70 people, and a girls dorm for 68 people, plus cook/guest rooms for 16)! So, we’ve got lots of room for you and all of your friends!
