PASSPORT - Christian Summer Camps and Mission Trips For Children and Youth Groups

Meaningful missions. Creative Discipleship. Summer of Fun!

PASSPORT is a creative discipleship and mission action camp that allows students to have a varied camp experience, explore their passions, and grow in 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 experience afternoon activities that engage and deepen their faith as they serve others through local mission engagement at PASSPORTmissions, or choose a creative discipleship choice at PASSPORTchoices.

With new students coming and others graduating every year, your youth group’s interpersonal dynamics, personalities, and needs are unique and constantly changing. Whether you are looking for a traditional summer camp experience, creative discipleship training, or thoughtful mission engagement, PASSPORT will offer a variety of options for your students.

What To Expect:

Missions Engagement in Partnership with the Community and in Conversation with the World

Low-Pressure Worship Experience Aimed at Equipping Students for a Lifetime of Faith

Regardless of the program you choose, the PASSPORT team works all year thoughtfully preparing worship experiences that deepen your students’ relationship with Jesus and create space for 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 God.

Programming that Puts an Emphasis on Youth Group Relationships

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.

Student Mentorship

Your students will have the opportunity to meet and learn from our diverse and gifted staff. PASSPORT employs called and 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 an active and growing faith looks like.

Exciting Camp Parties

We have three nightly 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 screened, via uploaded video, based on variety, appropriateness, creativity, church group representation, quality, and time constraints.

PASSPORTchoices will invite youth groups to leave campus for an evening of dinner and fun in the surrounding community. Your group gets to decide what they want to do and to make plans that make the most sense for you and them.

Ecumenical Student-Led Worship

PASSPORT intentionally hires college and seminary students to run our programs. Our national office team works all year preparing creative worship that connects with your students to help them grow in their faith. With an intentional focus on camper-led worship elements, PASSPORT intentionally creates an intimate, grace-filled, low-pressure worship environment.

Fresh Programming Rooted in Scripture

The PASSPORT team spends many months crafting a creative and thoughtful curriculum for your students’ Bible Study experience each day of camp. Building on itself throughout the week, Bible Study is a time to explore the yearly theme and dig deep into the daily scripture passages. Incorporating art projects, storytelling, quiet moments, and group work. Care is taken to engage campers of all learning styles with sensory experiences that are sensitive to the unique physical, emotional, and spiritual development of teenagers. Rather than being treated as consumers, PASSPORT encourages campers to be active participants offering students opportunities to lead in Bible study, worship, missions, and other aspects of camp.
