5th & 6th grade preteens are headed to Forest Home for Wild Rock camp!

Is your preteen ready for their own awesome summer adventure? Would they enjoy time in the mountains to encounter Jesus in a new way? Is your preteen ready to develop their faith in a dynamic, yet safe place?

Summer Camp at Wild Rock is a four-day camp specifically designed for students entering 5th and 6th grade. This is a safe place where kids will learn about their great God through age-appropriate teaching, engaging worship, and time outdoors in His Creation. It’s an opportunity to meet new friends and learn about how we are designed for Christ-centered community while being away from home, some for the very first time.

Preteen Summer Camp is currently full but we occasionally have spots open up. Please add your child to the waitlist (link at the bottom of this page) and if an opening becomes available, we’ll be sure to contact you right away.
