Camp Challenge 2025

2025 summer camp registrations are open!

 

Welcome to camp Challenge

We are a unique group who seek to know and stand on solid ground. In a world of unlimited ideas, opinions, and pressures, young people are hungry to see the timeless truths revealed in God’s Word. These show us His love which offers living hope for every soul. Come join us this summer; let’s get ‘Rooted!’

Camp Challenge offers:

  • Junior high and Senior high camp is a five-night camp for youth entering 6th through 12 grade and recent graduates, July 7-12. Students will be divided into age-appropriate cabin and activity groups during this week.

  • Junior camp is four nights for children entering 3rd through 6th grade the week of July 14-18.

Each camp program features morning and evening chapel services with encouraging messages based in Scripture, many exciting activities for all ages, great food, and the unique opportunity to pursue spiritual growth with peers and well-equipped staff.

Both programs will be held at the beautiful, remote conference grounds of Lopez Canyon Bible Camp where the natural environment lends to having fun in the outdoors and seeking relationship with our Creator. Camp Challenge welcomes any first-time campers who may or may not be attached to a church group.

All staff have exhibited a personal faith in Jesus Christ, received camp-specific training, and satisfied government and insurance requirements for supervision and care for children.

Any adults interested in a volunteer staff position can reach out via keiths@infaith.org and request an appointment for a phone conversation.

We look forward to serving kids this summer!
