(For Junior High and High School Students)

Journey Youth Camp offers an exciting camping experience designed specifically for students who have completed 7th-12th grade.  Journey Youth Camp's primary objective is to provide students an environment where they can grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.  All students experience thought-provoking Bible studies, guided quiet times, interactive small group discussions, recreational activities, incredible worship, challenging messages, and evangelism training.   Journey Youth Camp will impact your student ministry, creating bonds and relationships that will endure beyond the weeklong experience. 

What Journey Youth Camp Is All About

The sole purpose of Journey Youth Camp is to glorify and exalt the Lord Jesus Christ.  He is worthy of all our worship, trust, and service.  Therefore, we seek to lift his name high by focusing on the following objectives:

—         Pointing students to Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 2:2)

—         Effectively communicating God's word (2 Timothy 3:16)

—         Encouraging students to worship (James 4:8)

—         Helping students experience spiritual intimacy (Galatians 6:2)

—         Challenging students to lead (1 Peter 4:10); and Supporting the local church (Galatians 6:10). 

A Day at Journey Youth Camp

Campers will begin each day at Journey Youth Camp with a guided quiet time followed shortly thereafter by a group Bible study.  Campers then divide up by church groups in order to participate in team recreation, choice time activities, and waterfront activities.  Late in the afternoon, campers regroup for a camp-wide worship service and small-group discussion time.

Adult Counselor Requirements

Much is required of the Adult Counselor, demanding a physically fit, emotionally and spiritually mature person who relates well with young people.  He/she is expected to serve as a family group leader and assist with the camp activities.  The Adult Counselor is an encourager, disciplinarian, dorm supervisor, and discussion leader. 

Churches must send one (1) adult counselor for every eight (8) campers.  For every 8 girls there must be a female counselor and for every 8 boys, a male counselor.  Counselors are to be at least 19 years of age, are required to be housed with their campers, and are expected to assist in the camp activities. 

Worship Leaders  

Session 1: June 16-20

Worship Speaker: Jason Craft

Worship Praise Leader: Stephen Miller Band

Jason Craft has been in full time ministry since 1993 serving the body of Christ in many capacities. 1n 1993, Jason was led by God to begin Threshing Floor Ministries so that he might travel the country spreading the Good News and to call the Church to revival.  In 2003, God began changing Jason's call from evangelism and preparing his heart to be a pastor. Messiah's House, the church Jason serves as Pastor and Senior Elder, was officially birthed in September of 2005. His desire is to walk intimately with Christ and to preach out of the overflow of what God is doing in his own life.  He just wants to be a part of what God is doing.  Jason is happily married to his high school sweetheart, Leanna, and together they have 4 beautiful children.  www.messiahshouse.org

The irresistible truth of God as an intimate friend and Father drew Stephen Miller into His calling to be a worship leader in 1998.  He started leading worship at his local church in Austin, Texas, and the Lord began to create songs inside of Him for a new generation of Christ-worshipers.  Nine years after his first chance to lead worship, Stephen now worships more passionately than ever before. Through his music and lifestyle his chief desire is to show Jesus as the one true God who is absolutely worthy of worship.  Whether he is traveling with his band or is serving at his home church in Sugar Land, Texas, he longs to see people draw near to God in worship. www.stephen-miller.com

"We believe that worship is something that should permeate your entire life" says front-man Justin Cofield.
