This Year's Focus

What It Means to Be Made New

01

Made New

In Christ, the old is gone. Campers will discover what it means to be a new creation — defined not by past mistakes, but by who God says they are.

02

Ready to Be Filled

New wine needs new wineskins. Campers will learn to open their hearts to what God wants to pour in — through worship, teaching, and prayer.

03

Poured Out for Others

What God fills, He sends. Campers will put their faith into action through service, friendship, and the way they treat the people around them.

What We Do

10 Activities, 9 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.
