Over the last couple decades East Coast Christian Center has held summer camps for our 7th-12th grade ministry, TNT Youth. There have been thousands of teenagers who have gone to camp with us over the years, and we have seen generations of families changed because students were able to spend a distraction free week with us connecting with their purpose and calling in Christ. We are blessed to go back this year from July 15th-July 19th!

Over half of our leaders today went to camp with us as students and are now giving back because of the impact it had in their life. The testimonies of what has happened are nothing short of incredible.

We know God is moving in our weekly youth services, but camp allows us to pack months’ worth of services into one week and a week away from the distractions of society has never been more important for our youth.

What happens in a week at camp:

Over 5 days, our students daily will have the opportunity to swim in a private spring (with the crowd favorite, the “blob”), a private water park, play in sports competitions and most importantly, connect with God without the distractions and all the things pulling on them at home today. That includes attending 7 services, spending time in small groups discussing what God is doing in their lives, finding community and belonging while building friendships with men and women who will influence the world, instead of falling prey to everything coming after them today. They are also able to learn from our adult leaders who have been thoroughly vetted, background checked and living lives that we want our students to learn from.

The cost for us to make camp happen has gone up exponentially over the last few years, like many things in life today. The cost of buses to transport students, the cost youth camps charge for us to visit, the cost for items to play games and have fun while there, has gone up. The actual cost per student for our ministry is significantly higher than what we charge per student because we never want price to prevent a student from attending. Many families have multiple students in the age range to go and the costs add up quickly.

We believe that God is leading us to make disciples and leaders of the next generation during this week, but it also takes partnership with those in our community like you to make it possible for students. We graciously ask that you consider how you may be able to partner with us and help change lives in the next generation.

Consider making a donation towards youth camp. ANY amount helps! Your donation will help pay for the general cost of camp with things like charter buses, t-shirts, field games, etc. It will also help establish a scholarship fund for families who are unable to afford the full cost of camp.

Please designate "TNT Youth Camp Donation" in the optional gift description.
