INTO THE LIGHT: OWNING YOUR FAITH
July 12 - 17 | Aldersgate Camp & Retreat Center
6 - 12 grades | $404 per student (participating in work days will reduce cost by up to $200)
We officially have the opportunity to attend FUGE Camp this summer at Aldersgate Camp & Conference Center in Turner, Oregon. This is our first time at this camp, designed to challenge and encourage students in their faith through powerful worship, solid biblical teaching, and engaging activities.
What to Expect:
Dynamic Worship and Bible Study: Students are divided into groups for recreation and Bible study based on age ranges by grade completed. Each activity serves a specific purpose and is debriefed so students can make applications in their lives.
Track Times: Students participate in Track Times, where they can participate in something with which they are familiar or try something new! They offer creative, active, performance, and classroom-based activities during these times, and a member of the FUGE Camps staff leads each track.
Theme – Into the Light: This year’s theme focuses on moving into the Light and owning one’s faith, encouraging students to step from a borrowed faith into a full, vibrant faith that is their own.
Deposit: $75 to reserve your spot
Scholarship opportunities: $50 off per "As Yourself" workday completed (4 scheduled)
