MOVE | High School Summer Camp

High school students are invited to take part in a 5-day experience to deepen their faith, connect with each other and adults who love them, and have a week full of fun! MOVE includes impactful and interactive sessions that feature worship, teaching messages, videos, and interactive experiences as well as group time where you have a chance to deepen and build friendships and talk about your faith. It will be the best week of your student’s summer! MOVE is for students entering grades 9 for the Fall 2023 school year through graduated seniors. Check out what MOVE is like below!

At this time, MOVE 2023 has reached full capacity and we are no longer accepting waiting list registrations. 

Theme for MOVE 2023: Nevertheless

If I’m in charge of my own destiny, that’s really exciting. It’s also terrifying. We all want to be in charge of our own lives, but what if real freedom is found when we put someone else in charge. At MOVE 2023, high school students will discover the incredible hope of giving up control. They will hear the hope-filled call of Jesus to follow Him at all costs nevertheless allowing Him to truly live through them.
