Northern Saskatchewan could easily be called the middle of nowhere, but in this vast region lies some of the richest forest and lakes on the continent.
It's in this place, on the edge of beautiful Ministikewan Lake, from July 16-19, that a group of teenagers and young adults are about to gather to seek God. During those three days in July, the forest will echo with the sounds of music, passionate prayer, new friends, and intense fun.
We really hope you'll join us. The only catch is, you'll likely never be the same again.
What To Expect
amazing activities
From the beach to the field, the cabins to the chapel, there are going to be a ton of fun things to do this year! We have plans for sunny days and rainy days alike, so come expecting to have a blast and make new friends along the way.
encounters with GOD
Youth camp is so much more than food, fun, and friends. While these things are great, there is nothing greater than encountering a real God in a real way. Every night we will gather to worship God through music, impactful messages, digging into His Word, and powerful ministry times. Every year, lives are forever changed in these times, so come expecting God to show up in a big way!
building relationship
Whether you don’t know anyone yet, or you feel like you know everyone but don’t have any real depth to those relationships, youth camp is an amazing time to develop life-long friendships. Everyone is welcome, and everyone is included! We aim to have an environment where the love of Jesus is at the forefront and everyone is able to fit right in and have fun together. You’d be amazed how a few days at camp can build life-long bonds!
