This Year’s Theme:
RISE ABOVE!

Rise Above!

Make plans now to join us on the campus of Maryville College (Just outside of Knoxville, TN) July 6-10, 2026. This year we will be “Rising Above” what our modern American culture says Christianity is all about. As we explore the book of the prophet Micah, we will be learning that God not only calls us to a higher commitment to our faith, but also a higher form of love and service for one another. Our great hope this summer is that students will leave camp feeling empowered to enact meaningful change in their communities as an expression of God’s abundant love for all people.
