A SUMMER CAMP FOR STUDENTS WHO HAVE COMPLETED 6th GRADE THROUGH COMPLETED 12th GRADE.
Join us this year for an incredible week of summer camp. We have a new schedule with more free time, one morning of missions, and an afternoon together at Thornton’s Pool! Evening services are packed with praise and preaching followed by small group gatherings. Come be a part of what God is doing at Surge 2024.
ONE MORNING MISSION
One of our mornings will be spent doing local mission work. Leaders and teens will work side by side to be a blessing to many on this day. Mission project could include clean up, assisting in a Bible club, yard work, construction and more!
Pray for the Lord to use your student to be His hands and feet during Surge ’24!
SERVICES
Sunday- Wednesday nights we will have worship services in the auditorium at The Grove at Red Oak Lake. Pastor Derek Ewalt is a dynamic preacher and will be engaging everyone present with Biblical truth. Our own praise team will be leading music each night. We are blessed to have a praise team that does not bring glory to themselves but points people to Jesus.
Following each service we will break into small groups to discuss the sermon, ask questions, and celebrate what God is teaching them.
Afternoons offer times of recreation including team sports such as volleyball, basketball, ultimate frisbee, and more. Students can also swim in the pool, play on the lake, enjoy a snack, create in the art room, or just hang out with friends.
