Faith-Filled Camps Designed for CHURCH & Young People

Wondering About Camp? Let’s Clear the Trail!

What makes CYC a trusted choice for youth camps?

For over 7 Years C YC has been a place where young people feel safe, supported and truely seen. Our camps are more than just adventure and fun, they’re designed to help young people grow in confidence, build lasting friendships, and explore faith in a way that’s relevant to them.

We know that for some campers, home life can be challenging. That’s why we create an environment where every young person feels valued, heard, and supported. Surrounded by caring Christian leaders and fellow young believers, campers can ask big questions, explore their faith, and experience God’s love in a real and personal way.

With accredited facilities, trained staff, and a strong foundation in Christian values, CYC is a place where young people can step away from life’s pressures, find community, and discover hope for the future.
