We are excited to announce that next summer, we will be heading to Ridecrest Conference Center in Black Mountain for a Summer Retreat with Fuge Camps (a ministry of Lifeway.) Though we have not ever attended Fuge Camps before, we have several key leaders and staff members that have attended many of their camps and have spoken very highly about the way that they minister to students in a way that is intentional and packed with fun activities.

The theme for 2026 is "The Good Shepherd," and we'll be going through a study on Psalm 23. The following link is a video from last year's Fuge Camp just to give a hint of what students will be in for! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=659Z3uvryZc

For more information our our specific camp location, please feel free to follow the link to their website. https://fugecamps.lifeway.com/camp/ridgecrest-july-3-july-7-2026/ This week will be full of worship, teaching, large group games, Bible studies, and various track times including laser tag, high ropes course and mini golf! We invite students to invite a friend and join us! ***Note: This camp will be available for all rising 7th graders to current 12th graders.

PRICING: Please reach out to Jess or Alex (emails below) if finances are a barrier from going. We would love to work with you and make a way for camp to be a possibility. The Earlybird pricing of $325 will be available until January 10th (our deposit deadline is January 15th), and then the price will raise to $350.
