YFC Summer Camp
YFC Summer Camp occurs every year in the end of June at Crystal Springs Baptist Camp site. All the ND YFC chapters rent out this site to come together for one week to bring you out of your everyday life into an environment where you can try new things, meet new people, and freely discover who God is with leaders who are willing to walk with you right where you are at. This year, YFC Camp will be occurring from June 24th - 28th. Transportation will be provided from The Lighthouse to the camp site location (and back). Drop-off will be at 11 am on June 24th at The Lighthouse, and pick-up will be approximately 3 pm on June 28th. Please see the following buttons for registration, cost, packing list, etc. Registration is required no later than June 7th!

IMPORTANT: WE ASK THAT YOU REGISTER BEFORE JULY 17TH AT 11:59 PM. If you or someone you know was not able to register before July 17th, you are still welcome to come on the day-of! Registering two weeks in advance helps us plan for activities as well as food which is why we emphasize it. There is no cost for this event. While there is no packing list, we do ask that teens plan for hot or cool weather and bring clothes they can get wet in (or a change of clothes if they would like) as well as they can bring a water bottle too.
