Camp is designed for middle school and high school students, CURRENT 6th-12th grade students. In addition to youth leaders and volunteers from Churches throughout the Michigan Region.

This camp is about laying a foundation for meaningful spiritual growth. Students will build lasting friendships, encounter Jesus in powerful ways, worship deeply, and be challenged to live “All In” for Christ. It will also develop stronger connections between students and their youth ministries.

The 2026 theme is “ONE – All In,” focusing on the book of Philippians and inviting students to live fully committed to Christ and community.

Our speaker is Jerrel Jobe, Director of Development at GTI Tours. Jerrel is known for his powerful, high-energy teaching style. He brings Scripture to life through archaeology, history, and real-world faith application. He has led more than 100 biblical study tours across 25+ countries and is passionate about helping students encounter God in transformative ways.

Worship will be led by Jordan Pearson, Student Pastor at Maple City Chapel. Jordan and his band bring high-energy, Christ-centered worship that students love—joyful, passionate, and deeply engaging. Get ready: worship will be next-level!

All students will register through Woodland Church.

Yes. There will be a registered Nurse at camp. Covenant Hills Camp maintains standard emergency protocols.

Any medications must be submitted to Pastor Eli at Check-in. Please ensure that all medication is in its original container and placed inside a sealed plastic bag labeled with the student’s name and clear dosage instructions. The nurse will be at breakfast, lunch, and dinner to distribute medication.

Arrival and departure changes must be approved through Pastor Eli. For safety, no student may arrive or leave without being checked in/out. This requires custodial I.D. from the person checking the camper in/out. In addition, it will require the youth leaders and camp directors' signatures.

The theme “ONE – All In” centers on the book of Philippians, teaching students how to live with unity, joy, purpose, and commitment to Christ. Expect powerful worship, Biblical teaching, small-group/family conversations, and ways to continue growing in your relationship with Jesus when camp is over.

If you are in need of financial assistance, reach out to Pastor Eli. He will be able to give you information on scholarships.

Yes. All adults involved in youth ministry at participating churches are required to follow their church’s safety and screening policies, which require background checks. No adult may volunteer at Youth Summer Camp without an updated background check.

Camp continues rain or shine. Indoor spaces are available for sessions and activities, and safety procedures are in place in case of severe weather. These safety procedures are established by Covenant Hills Camp.

A camp store will be available offering merchandise, snacks, drinks, candy, popcorn, ice cream, and other items. Please note that these items are available for an additional cost.

Cabin assignments are organized by church. Students are typically grouped by age and gender. Roommate requests can be made through Pastor Eli, but those are not guaranteed.

For the safety and consistency of the camp experience, Youth Summer Camp is a closed event. Only registered leaders and volunteers who have completed required background checks are permitted on-site. Parents with urgent needs should contact Pastor Eli directly. Local, District, and Regional leadership who have been background checked may visit the camp for the purpose of observing and evaluating future participation.

Students are asked to:

• Respect leaders and fellow campers 

• Participate in all sessions and group activities

• Follow camp-wide guidelines

• Maintain a positive, Christ-centered attitude. Youth leaders will go over detailed guidelines before camp.

Safety is a top priority. Measures include:

• Adult ratio will be 1:10 (that does not include the Covenant Hills Staff and Security)

• Child-protection policies set by local churches, region, and Covenant Hills Camp.

• Emergency plans in place for severe weather established by Covenant Hills Camp

• Controlled check-in/check-out process. Early departure requires custodial I.D. from the person checking the camper out early. In addition, it will require the youth leaders and camp directors' signatures.
   

Clearly communicated rules for recreation areas.

The Camp Director, Assistant Director, and Youth leaders reserve the right to contact parents and, if necessary, send a student home. Transportation arrangements would need to be made by the family. We do not see this being an issue, but want to make sure that we have a plan in place and communicated.

• ​Weapons

• Vape devices, tobacco, alcohol, or drugs

• Inappropriate clothing

• Prank items

• Anything extremely valuable. 

Check with Pastor Eli for your church's exact guidelines.

Pastor Eli and our leaders will use this group to share photos throughout the trip, as well as provide important updates.
