Navigator Youth Weeks: Ages 14-18

Ages: 14-18
Dates: July 20-25 and August 10-15
Cost: $315

Navigator camps are a place for high school-age campers to enjoy positive relationships while exploring issues of life, relationships and faith. A casual-dress theme dinner, special entertainment and options for off-site activities all provide a unique atmosphere for our senior high campers.  There will even be aged specific activities featuring events for campers who are 16 and up or have graduated 10th grade. As always, these weeks include fresh Fireside messages and vibrant worship but this year we will add elective break out sessions with topics like conflict resolution, integrity in relationships, and practicing spiritual disciplines.  Activities like "Mission Impossible," and rec hour will be present but often will have alternative activities provided.  As an individual, you'll have plenty of opportunities to craft your own week, choosing from the NEW Specialty Tracks, unique electives like slacklining and touch football, break out sessions, adventure programming (high ropes, vertical playpen) and more.
