HIGH SCHOOL SUMMER CAMP 2026

High School Summer Camp 2026 invites 9th-12th grade students on a journey of Discovery that reshapes everything. Scripture teaches that when we seek God with our whole hearts, we find Him, and that following Jesus means pressing forward rather than getting stuck in the past. These are the truths that frame the heartbeat of this camp. Students will step into worship, teaching, small groups, and meaningful conversations that create space for real growth. They will experience adventure, community, and the kind of clarity that comes when everything else slows down, allowing them to focus on what matters. Pursuit is about learning to chase after God and realizing He has been drawing near to us from the very beginning.

WHAT TO BRING

Bring a backpack and a medium-sized duffle bag or suitcase. All items must fit under the bunk beds at camp—please avoid excessive packing for the sake of cleanliness and space. Be sure to pack a Bible, notebook, and pen or pencil for the week’s activities. Bring modest, appropriate clothing, including sandals, athletic shoes, and a swimsuit, as well as towels, bedding, and personal hygiene items.

A more detailed, campground-specific packing list may be available one month prior to camp. Neither the district nor camp leadership is responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged items.

WHAT NOT TO BRING

No weapons, fireworks, tobacco, alcohol, or illegal drugs. We follow a no-phone policy. Do not bring a phone to camp. Phones are a distraction and pull students away from what the Lord is doing in their lives. Students are allowed to give their phones to leaders to make periodic phone calls to parents/legal guardians. 

No skateboards, roller skates, or roller blades.

MEDICATIONS

Medications must be in pharmacy-labeled containers with dosage information included. During check-in, medications will be given to the camp nurse. Please note: It is not legal for the nurse to administer medications from a pill organizer or plastic bag.

ACTIVITIES / SCHEDULE

Activities may include swimming, basketball, volleyball, field games, archery, and more!

LICE CHECKS

Lice are commonly spread at schools, from pets, and other everyday environments.

• All students will undergo a mandatory lice check before boarding the bus.
• Please check your student for lice before the day of camp. Watch a simple YouTube video on lice identification so you can treat at home, if needed, before arrival.
