Youth Camp is our classic week-long camp experience for campers who have completed grades 2 – 8.
Campers encounter God in nature, in worship, and in relationships during Youth Camp. They step out of their comfort zones and away from their electronics to experience life in a new and powerful way. Fun, interactive experiences grow campers’ self-confidence and enable them to experience God’s creation firsthand.
During a week of Youth Camp, your camper can expect:
• Faith formation strengthened through camp activities, song, and worship
• Healthy, homemade, delicious food
• Weeklong experiential and active programming
• Positive adult role models
• Lasting friendships and connections outside of the electronic world
BRING A FRIEND TO CROSS ROADS
Youth Camp 3 is “Bring a Friend to Cross Roads” week.
Campers bringing new-to-Cross Roads friends can get $25 off their own camp registration AND the friend receives $25 off as well.
Invite 6 friends and your week of camp is FREE!

SEE WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUT
Come to an open house to see what Cross Roads offer! A pre-summer-camp visit can really help with new campers’ (and parents’) anxiety.
YOUTH CAMP 4
CURTAINS UP!
Curtains Up! Campers are part of all the fun of a typical youth camp but with the excitement of getting to put on a production for the rest of camp. Led by resident director Pastor Mark Erson, Curtains Up! is open to campers who have completed grades 2–8. See you on the stage!
YOUTH CAMP 2 & 5
ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
Calling all young artists! Register to participate in a weeklong learning experience with the Cross Roads Artist in Residence. Campers will learn and create alongside the Artist in Residence, working on their projects as well as a camp-wide project. At the end of the week, campers will showcase their artwork to other campers and their families.
YOUTH CAMP 5 ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
SYLVIA HERNANDEZ
We’re excited to welcome Sylvia Hernandez as one of our Artist in Residence at Cross Roads this summer! During this week, campers will have the opportunity to create a unique quilt piece that captures their camp experience. Each participant will receive a 10x10-inch muslin square with an inspiring quote at the center, then bring it to life with fabric, buttons, and thread through embellishment and collage. No sewing experience is needed—just creativity and a willingness to explore! Join us for a hands-on artistic experience that weaves together storytelling, self-expression, and community.
