CLUB
At club we tend to get a little silly and sometimes messy. Join us in playing games, singing some songs, and learning about Jesus! Oh, and there's a prize raffle.
COMMUNITY
At community, we like to kick back and relax in smaller groups to talk about school, how your week has been, and to dig a little deeper into Jesus' word.
CAMP
Camp is nothing short of the "Best Week of Your Life". It's a week full of HUGE Clubs, great food, meeting awesome friends from around the country, joining in on all sorts of activities, and becoming closer to Jesus.
