Abide Youth Camp
For Rising 6th-12th Grade Students
We are so excited to invite your rising 6th-12th grade students to join us for Abide Youth Camp. Pastor Brian Laxamana, who led past Abide Youth Camps and is a favorite with returning campers, will be leading this year's camp once again. Brian is the Executive Pastor of Care & Community at Princeton Alliance Church in New Jersey and is also a former youth pastor.
Throughout the week, your students will have the opportunity to participate in a range of activities to grow their faith and deepen relationships with other youth, including:
Joining musical worship with adults during the morning sessions of our gathering
Off site field trips and adventures such as the Henry Ford Museum, trampoline park, rock climbing, go-karts, arcade/mini golf, a Detroit Tigers game, and more
A service project with a local church-based community development organization
Community games and thoughtful conversations with other Abide youth students in a Christ-centered environment
