What is Youth Camp?: Youth camp is our annual summer getaway, where we take the time to disconnect and spend time with God and friends. It is an opportunity to get encouraged and motivated towards the purposes and plans God has in store for us.
Where and when is Youth Camp?: Camp will be held from July 15th- 19th, 2020 in a Christian campsite in Sebring, FL which provides a safe environment with great facilities, including air-conditioned cabins.
How will my child get to camp?: We will be traveling together in buses to the camp location. More information will be provided as we get closer to camp.
When should I register my child for camp?: The sooner the better! Not only can you take advantage of our start-up prices, but you will also be guaranteed a spot at camp before we reach capacity.
What does the registration fee cover? The price for camp is based off the costs to cover lodging for 4 nights/ 5 days, the transportation to and from the campsite, 11 meals and 10 snacks, and the camp t-shirt. With the support of our community sponsors and generous donors, we are able to provide camp at a lower cost to make it accessible to all of our families. We appreciate the investment you are making in your youth’s life!
Can I attend camp even if I do not attend a specific church?: Of course! We want you to feel welcomed to join us no matter where you are in your walk with Christ. We hope that camp will encourage you to continue pursuing a relationship with God.
How do I know what cabin I will be sleeping in?: Cabins are divided by gender and grade, or in other words, by color squads (Green- high school boys, Purple- high school girls, Blue- middle school boys, and Pink- middle school girls).
Will there be security and medical personnel?: Definitely! Your youth's safety and well-being is our number one priority, therefore we have at least one security personnel per cabin, as well as medical personnel certified in CPR and First Aid. There will also be adult supervision throughout all camp activities.
What kind of food is served at camp?: Food is one of our favorite parts of camp because they are all home-cooked meals by a group of amazing moms and dads who volunteer to prepare each meal and snack. Usually, we'll have breakfast, lunch, dinner, and 2 snacks available each day. If your son/daughter has a dietary restriction, please be sure to include it in their camp registration.
What should I pack for camp? You'll receive a parent and student packet about a month before camp with all of the basic necessities, but here is a little preview: 4 casual outfits, 2 sets of clothes to get dirty, modest swimwear, PJs, personal bathroom items, comfortable close-toes shoes, a pair of shower sandals, bedding, pillows, sunscreen/bug spray, Bible and journal. Don't forget to bring clothing items and accessories of your camp color squad!
What is not allowed at camp? Drugs, alcohol, weapons, or gaming devices. We also do not allow cellphones throughout the duration of camp so youth can focus on all of the camp activities.
How many volunteers will be at camp?: We will have about 1 adult volunteer to every 5 students. Each volunteer has been screened to make sure they qualified to influence your youth in the best way possible.
What are some youth testimonies from previous camps? (anonymously)
-”After the last year's camp I had some obstacles that i did not expect.I felt like lost myself in who I was because I was angry with everyone and lost trust in everything.But during the first day of camp I felt that there was a process that started again reminding me of my first time here at camp. Where i could let my walls down and show everything that I kept hidden so long.I forgave people who hurt me , I remembered that God will always love me including in the mistakes I've made.Including feeling alone and afraid to be me. For that I'm thankful for Zayda, Michi also Lau . They've taught me so much and helped me learn to forgive and love myself because God loves us.”
-"During camp I heard God tell me that in order to fulfill his plan I needed to never back down from a person in need."
-"M.A.D.E. Camp has taught me that serving can be fun, when you do it with a good attitude, and good heart. I have also learned that if I want to make a difference I have to step out and reach out to those who don't know God. And to serve with a relentless passion and love. And has taught me to be more outgoing and love others with the love that God has for me."
- "I asked God to give me a sign that he was ready to use me and he gave me a word telling me to "sound the alarm for great things are coming"
What are some parent testimonies from previous camps? (anonymously)
-”God has touched my son's life in a marvelous way”
-"This is one of the best experiences for youth. It was my sons' first time at a youth camp and it is incredible how comfortable they felt and the opportunity they had to learn from people who spoken to them at their level. I recommend it to everyone; it is a great gift to our children."
- "Very exciting as a parent, knowing that my son was very happy to be there, sharing with you guys and letting God fill them with word and with the Holy Spirit."
