Middle School Summer Camp 2026

Middle School Campus By The Sea
June 12-15, 2026

Middle Schoolers! You don’t want to miss this!

We’re heading to Campus by the Sea on Catalina Island, an oceanfront camp tucked into a private cove where you’ll get to unplug from screens and dive into real adventure. Think kayaking, snorkeling, paddle boarding, ocean tubing, late-night laughter, camp games, and beach time with friends old and new.

In this beautiful place, we’ll worship under the stars, have meaningful conversations, and explore what it looks like to follow a God who meets us in creation, community, and every moment of our story. Come for the fun. Stay for the friendships. Leave changed.

Space is limited—invite a friend and register soon! 

$410 with fundraiser participation (available until 4/15) | $560 after 5/1 (or if you are unable to participate in the fundraiser)

Camperships available!

We understand camp prices can be high, so we are holding a fundraiser in May to help with the costs of camp. Make sure you sign up with the early bird price and sign up to participate in the fundraiser so we can help reduce the cost of camp!

FAQs

What do I need to bring?

Here’s the Packing List! We will be staying in cabins.

What’s included with the price?

The cost includestransportation to and from the Long Beach harbor, the ferry to Catalina Island, lodging, meals, and camp activities we’ll have throughout the weekend!

Students may want to bring extra money for the Island gift shop that sells apparel, gifts, souvenirs, sundries, toiletries, and various drinks and snacks.

What will the weekend away look like?

We will have an incredible time! Camp is packed with fun, energy, and meaningful moments. Some of what we’ll be doing:

  • Beach time & free time to explore the many amenities at camp alongside friends

  • Group games & competitions

  • Worship and teaching sessions

  • Late-night games and small-groups

Students will be able to call parents during free time on the Camp Offices Telephone.

What’s there to do?

Let me assure you, there’s no opportunity to be bored! Outside of group activities and games, we’ll have the opportunity for:

  • Ocean tubing behind a boat

  • Kayaking

  • Stand-up paddle boarding

  • Snorkeling

  • Fishing

  • Inflatable giant water totter

  • Nine-square in the air

  • Gaga Ball

  • 18-hole disc golf course

  • Volleyball

  • Basketball
    ….And much more!

What are we going to learn about?

Will it feel like nonstop church stuff for four days? Not at all. We’ll spend time in Scripture in ways that are engaging, meaningful, and connected to real life. Camp is about discovering:

  • Who God is

  • Who we are

  • How God is present in our everyday lives

We’ll gather for teaching and small groups, but we’ll also learn through community, fun, and the beauty of being by the ocean. If God created the ocean, sunsets, and everything around us, imagine what He can do in our lives. So yes! We’ll open the Bible together, but we’ll also learn as we laugh, play, rest, and build friendships.

Is financial assistance available?

Absolutely! We never want cost to be the reason a student misses camp. If you need financial assistance, simply mark that on the registration form, and Andrew will follow up to help make camp possible. We’ll also have opportunities to help offset costs through upcoming fundraisers!

Can I invite a friend?

Yes, please do! Camp is even better with friends. Feel free to share the info and invite someone to come along. Friends can also request financial assistance if needed.

What leaders will be there?

Andrew will be there along with some of our other middle school leaders. Due to work schedules, we are still figuring out exactly who will be there but rest assured that whatever leaders come are there to care for your students and continue building the relationships they have with them! All our leaders have cleared DOJ & FBI background checks, personal recommendations, and receive regular training to work with our students.
