Youth Camp 2026
Can you believe it? Before you know it, we will be loading buses and heading to Camp Chaparral in Iowa Park, Texas for Youth Camp 2026. God has used the ministry of Youth Camp to powerfully impact the lives of student over the years, and I can’t WAIT to see what He has in store for us at Youth Camp 2026!
Youth Camp is a sleep away camp for students who have completed 6-12 grade by June. Each student is part of two groups at Youth Camp. First is their Camp Group. This is a group that is the same age and gender as your student. Camp Groups share a cabin, create a skit for talent show, and compete for the spirit stick together. They are lead by the sponsors you will work with before camp on camp planning nights at Refuge Bible Study.
The second group your student will be a part of is their Family Group. These groups are not revealed until the students are at Youth Camp and include students of different grades and genders and a male and female sponsor to act as the group “mom and dad.” Students will participate in Bible studies, scripture memory, evening activity, and recreation with their Family Groups. These groups really help our students get to know their whole Youth Group and not just the kids in their own grade level. It also helps even things out on the rec field :) This is a great week of bonding with their peers and growing in their faith for our students. If you have more questions please do not hesitate to reach out to a Student Ministry Staff member!
