Hear From Our Campers
Lives Changed, Stories Told
Over two decades of summers. Over five hundred lives transformed. Here's what campers, parents, and alumni have to say.
CYC has been the highlight of my summer for 15 years. The friendships I built here and the faith I found carry me through every challenge life throws my way.
15-Year Attendee & AlumniMy daughter came home a completely different person — more confident, more grounded. CYC gives kids something they can't get anywhere else.
Camp ParentThe leadership workshops changed how I see myself. I went from shy to leading my school's student council the very next year.
Camper, Age 17What makes CYC special is how every child feels genuinely seen, valued, and loved — no matter where they come from or what they believe.
Community PartnerThe mix of outdoor adventures, real faith conversations, and practical skills is unlike any camp I've ever seen. My son talks about CYC all year long.
Parent of 3-Year AttendeeI came to CYC not knowing anyone. I left with a family. The counselors genuinely invest in you and push you to be better in every way.
