PASSPORTchoices is a 6-day, 5-night creative discipleship camp that allows students the freedom to customize their camp experience, explore their passions, and inform their faith journey. Small group Bible studies will be split into Middle School and High School ages and led by our fantastic PASSPORT summer teams. Your students will choose an afternoon option designed to help them cultivate their unique identity as a follower of Jesus Christ. Some students will sign up for mission service, others might try leadership through team play, faith expression through music, creative arts, or photography. Everyone has a unique experience during the day before gathering again for worship and a nightly party in the evening.
What To Expect:
Local Missions That Have A Lasting Impact
Paired with local organizations, your students will have the opportunity to be the hands and feet of Christ with three hours of hands-on missions. PASSPORT works with community leaders to ensure that all mission projects offer sustainable value to the communities we serve.
Creative Discipleship Programming Designed To Foster Students’ Passions & Interests
Students have the ability to customize their camp experience by choosing from several afternoon options, designed to ignite their passions and help them cultivate their unique Christian identity. With Choice courses ranging from environmentalism to health & fitness to music and ministry, your students are sure to find a topic they are passionate about. View the potential choices here.
Encourage returning students to try something new each summer, as the curriculum of individual options does not change.
Low-Pressure Worship Experience Aimed At Equipping Students For A Lifetime Of Faith
Our team works all year thoughtfully preparing messages that deepen your students’ relationship with Jesus and creates meaningful conversations within your youth group. Your students will find PASSPORT is an intimate grace-filled low-pressure environment where they can explore and grow their relationship with Jesus.
Programming That Puts An Emphasis On Youth Group Relationship
Think of us as your week-long ministry support staff! We attend to the logistics and programming of camp and give you the freedom to focus on your students’ spiritual growth and cultivate community within your group.
Christ-Centered Afternoon Options
From working on an organic farm to creative expression through art to learning about other cultures, campers have a chance to customize their camp experience and connect their interests with their unique Christian identity. For three hours in the afternoon, your students will have the opportunity to engage topics, passions, and conversations they find interesting and explore what that means for their walk with Jesus. Led by a college or graduate student who is passionate about their Choice course, your students will have a unique opportunity to connect with new friends with similar interests and learn more about who Jesus is calling them to become.
Student Mentorship
Your students will have the opportunity to meet and learn from our diverse and incredible staff. PASSPORT employs called & committed Christian women and men for our summer teams. Encountering a relatable Christian role model can change a student’s life, encourage them as followers of Christ, and help them understand what faith lived looks like.
Exciting Camp Parties
We have three parties and one goal – FUN!
Rec Party: At the rec party students will compete in teams with their Bible Study Group in a variety of fun and silly games. Youth and adults should come dressed to get sweaty!
Camp Dance: A time to dance, play, and sing with new friends, this costumed event is fun for all. Staff judges will determine which group is best dressed. The key is to come dressed with your group!
Variety Show: The variety show allows campers an avenue of self-expression with an audience of their peers. Acts will be chosen based on variety, appropriateness, creativity, church group representation, quality, and time constraints.
Ecumenical Student-Led Worship
Our team works all year thoughtfully preparing messages that deepen your students’ relationship with Jesus and creating meaningful conversations within your youth group. With a max capacity each session, PASSPORT intentionally creates an intimate, grace-filled, low-pressure worship environment.
Fresh Programming Rooted in Scripture
The PASSPORT team works year-round crafting creative and thoughtful curriculum for your students’ Bible Study. Building on itself throughout the week, Bible Study is time to explore the yearly theme and dig deep into the daily scripture passages. Incorporating art projects, story-telling, quiet moments, and group work, learners of all styles will be engaged. Rather than being relegated to consumers, PASSPORT encourages campers to be active participants offering students opportunities to lead in Bible study, worship, missions, and other aspects of camp.
