This isn’t your typical youth program. Basecamp is an experience where teenagers move from inherited faith to owned faith. Real talk about real faith in a real world.
Your teens will experience morning Trail Adventures with their age group: challenging outdoor activities, team building, and biblical teaching in adventure contexts. Evenings feature Summit Sessions: high-energy worship designed for their generation, relevant teaching that addresses real life, small group discussions, and response times that create space for genuine encounters with God.
It’s about creating bonds through shared challenges. Building friendships with peers who are pursuing Jesus. Asking tough questions in a safe environment. And leaving with a faith that’s truly theirs.
Every morning, your teens join their age group for Trail Adventures: outdoor experiences that build community, teach biblical principles through action, and create memories that last a lifetime.

A Typical Day at Basecamp
After breakfast, teens join their families for the morning gathering, complete with stage games, worship, and a short family devotion. Then they head to their age group for Trail Adventures: outdoor experiences that build community and teach biblical principles through action.
Teens reconnect with their families over lunch in the dining hall.
Families choose activities together: swimming, recreation, rest, or optional family programming.
More family time over a delicious meal.
After dinner, teens gather for Summit: high-energy worship, relevant teaching, and small group discussions designed for their generation.
Time to connect with friends and family, get late-night snacks at the Clubhouse, and build community.
Our Basecamp counselors aren’t just chaperones, they’re young adults who genuinely care about the spiritual growth of your teen. Many grew up coming to Family Camp themselves, and now they’re passionate about helping the next generation encounter Jesus. Most are college students or recent graduates who understand what it’s like to be a teenager in today’s world.
All counselors undergo:
They create a safe space for real questions, authentic struggles, and genuine faith conversations. They share their own stories, speak truth in love, and model what it looks like to follow Jesus as a young adult.
This could be the week that transforms your teen's faith journey and launches them into young adulthood with a faith that's truly their own. Register your family for Family Camp today!
