Our Story
Get To Know CYC
What started with just 20 participants has grown into a movement that has touched hundreds of lives across more than two decades. This is who we are.
The Foundation
Everything You Need to Know
Who We Are
A faith-based organization dedicated to empowering youth through personal growth, skill-building, and spiritual development. For over 20 years we've created a space where every young person is seen, valued, and challenged to become their best self.
What We Do
We provide a life-changing week that combines outdoor adventures, skill-building workshops, faith-based guidance, and meaningful peer connections — all intentionally designed to foster lasting personal and spiritual growth.
Why Register
Because one week can change everything. Campers build lasting friendships, discover hidden talents, and grow in faith in an environment that welcomes them exactly as they are — no matter where they come from.
Inspiring Youth
Unlocking Potential,
One Camper at a Time
Every young person who walks through our doors carries untapped potential. Through mentoring, workshops, and guided leadership activities, we create the conditions for that potential to surface and flourish.
Parents consistently tell us their children return home more confident, more communicative, and more grounded — transformed not just for a week, but for life.
- Leadership workshops led by experienced mentors
- Real-world entrepreneurship training
- Public speaking & communication skills
- Peer accountability and team challenges
Building Faith
A Faith Journey
Open to Everyone
We are a faith-based camp — but we are radically inclusive. We welcome youth of every background, belief, race, gender, and socioeconomic status. Our faith is an invitation, never a barrier.
Through daily devotionals, worship, prayer, and honest conversation, campers are invited into an authentic encounter with something bigger than themselves — at whatever pace feels right for them.
Creating Memories
Adventures Worth
Talking About All Year
CYC isn't just a camp — it's a collection of firsts. First time on a canoe. First song written. First pitch delivered to a real audience. First friendship that lasts a lifetime.
What Drives Us
Our Core Values
Radically Inclusive
Open to all youth regardless of national origin, gender, race, religion, disability, or socioeconomic status. Every camper belongs here.
Faith-Forward
Rooted in biblical principles, we invite every young person into an authentic faith journey — never forced, always genuine.
Skill-Building
From entrepreneurship to songwriting, we equip campers with real-world skills that serve them long after the summer ends.
Community-First
Deep friendships forged through shared challenge and celebration. Campers leave with a family, not just a memory.
