Dwell Camp is an opportunity for our students to get away from the distractions of everyday life and lean into hearing from God.

We’ll join several hundred other students from all across Texas to worship and seek God through Bible study and fun.

In addition to great Bible study designed to challenge our students to take their next step in their faith journey, we will have a lot of fun!

We believe the youth camp experience is a vital part of the discipleship process for teens. Our desire is to create a memorable and long-lasting experience for students. One that helps them draw closer to Christ and closer to each other. Recreation, free time, breakouts, concert of prayer, and mission opportunities are all part of the overall Dwell Camp experience.
