SMYM Youth Camp 2026
Youth Camp is where life change happens. Every service, every conversation, every moment is designed to help students experience God in a real and powerful way. With epic adventures, powerful worship, crazy fun, and a community that feels like family, camp will ignite passion for Jesus and send students home transformed.
One moment with Jesus can shape a lifetime. We’re ready — and we can’t wait to see all God has in store.
THE PROCESS
Getting your church ready for Youth Camp is simple, and we’re here to walk with you every step of the way.
1. Select Your Camp Week
Youth pastors or camp coordinators will choose which week your group will attend based on availability.
A one-time $25 Save the Date fee secures your church’s spot for the summer.
2. Receive Your Church Registration Link
After your week is selected, you will receive a custom church registration link and password.
This link allows you—as the youth pastor or camp manager—to monitor registrations in real time as your students and leaders sign up.
3. Send the Link to Parents & Leaders
Share your church’s registration link with parents and leaders so they can begin signing up.
No payment is due until arrival at camp.
*For detailed instructions, please see our Step-by-Step Student Registration Guide.
