A WEEK  DISCONNECTED 

Our device policy at YX Summer Camp 2026 is that students will only use their device (phones, tablets, gaming devices, smart watches, etc) during designated times. Outside of the designated times, devices will be collected and stored in secured locations.

 

A campus staff member will have emergency contact information for all students, and parents will also be given a direct contact for campus staff, ensuring students can be reached if needed outside of designated times.

 

The purpose of this policy is to help students stay fully engaged in the camp experience and to remove technology distractions. By limiting screen time, we want students to be present, build meaningful connections, and fully experience everything God has for them during summer camp.

THIS IS MY STORY

Terry Harris

HOPE CHURCH - SVL CAMPUS


 

I first went to camp in 2023 before joining youth group, so returning in 2025 felt really nostalgic. Even though I had friends, making new connections was a big part of camp, reminding me how important community is and how friendships built in faith can last a lifetime.

 

Being away from everyday life helped me focus on Jesus, and His presence felt especially strong throughout the week. Before camp, I struggled with anger and temptation, but afterward I felt a real shift in my mindset and a desire to grow and lead others to God. That experience led me to pursue baptism, and I’m so grateful for everyone who made camp meaningful. I’m already excited for 2026!

GIVE TO YX SUMMER CAMP

Our summer camp would not be possible without the faithful generosity of YOU, Hope Church!

In fact, Hope Church supplements the cost of every student ticket because we believe in the next generation, and we want to provide them a space to encounter the life-giving presence of God this summer. Did you know it costs $600 per student to attend YX Summer Camp, but the ticket price is $450? Your generosity covers this gap.

ACTUAL COST:

$600

THANKS TO YOUR GIVING:

$450

Though we’ve worked hard to lower the cost of YX Summer Camp, some families still face financial barriers. We would be deeply grateful if you’d consider giving toward a scholarship to help a student attend camp this year.

 

Your generosity helps students encounter God, build friendships, and experience life-changing moments. Thank you for being part of making that happen!
