This Year's Focus

What It Means to Be Built Different

01

Think Differently

Minds grounded in truth and purpose — campers will explore how faith shapes the way we see ourselves, others, and the world around us.

02

Live Boldly

Courage and integrity aren't taught in a classroom. Through challenges and community, campers discover what it looks like to live with conviction.

03

Walk in Real Faith

Faith isn't passive. Campers will learn to practice what they believe — through actions, relationships, and daily decisions that matter.

What We Do

10 Activities, 8 Days

Every day at CYC is intentionally designed — faith in the morning, adventure in the afternoon, community in the evening.

Bible Study

Deep, age-appropriate study of scripture that builds a lasting foundation of faith and understanding.

Leadership Activities

Real-world workshops and team challenges that develop communication, decision-making, and servant leadership skills.

Prayer

Daily group and individual prayer sessions fostering an intimate connection with faith and community.

Swimming Pool

Open swim sessions in a supervised pool environment — a favorite cool-down for campers every afternoon.

Hiking Trails

Guided trail hikes that build teamwork, resilience, and an appreciation for creation.

Team Sports

Friendly competition in basketball, soccer, volleyball, and more — all designed to foster sportsmanship.

Canoeing

On-water canoeing sessions that challenge campers physically while building trust and coordination.

Songwriting

A creative workshop where campers write and perform original songs, expressing their faith through music.

Entrepreneurship

Hands-on workshops covering idea generation, pitching, and basic business thinking — skills for life.

Sewing

A practical and creative craft session where campers design and sew their own projects from scratch.
