What is Middle School Camp?
A five-day summer experience designed to help students grow in their relationship with God and build meaningful friendships in a fun, Christ-centered environment. Hosted at a lake home, MSC brings together middle school students, dedicated leaders, and high school students who are excited to invest in and encourage the next generation. Each day includes engaging worship, biblical teaching, intentional small-group time, and plenty of activities that help students connect with one another. Thanks to families from our church bringing their boats, students will spend lots of time on the water—making memories they’ll talk about all year long. Add in some of the best food of the summer, and MSC becomes an unforgettable week of faith, fun, and community.
Why This Matters
Middle School Camp is an intentional opportunity for students to step away from their normal routines and spend nearly 100 hours together growing in their relationship with God and with one another. Over five days at a local lake home, students will engage in meaningful Bible teaching, guided small-group discussions, and shared experiences designed to help them understand God’s Word and apply it to their everyday lives. Alongside trusted adult leaders, students will build Christ-centered friendships, experience genuine community, and have plenty of fun along the way.
This week also serves as a foundational moment in our Middle School Ministry, especially for incoming students. Those 100 hours together create space for deeper relationships, spiritual conversations, and lasting connections that simply aren’t possible in weekly programming alone. Our prayer is that students leave camp with a deeper love for God, stronger relationships with peers and leaders, and a clearer sense of belonging in the life of the church.
