We are excited to announce that VPYouth is heading back to Camp Pondo for Summer Camp 2026!
There is something powerful about getting students away from their normal routine and into a focused environment where they can slow down, build friendships, and encounter Jesus in a real and personal way. Summer camp has consistently been one of the most spiritually significant weeks of the year for our ministry. Decisions are made. Faith becomes personal. Friendships deepen. Confidence grows. Students step out of comfort zones.
Camp creates space — and God often does His best work in that space.
Two Camps This Summer
High School Camp
June 29th – July 3rd
For current 8th graders through seniors (graduating seniors are welcome to attend).
Junior High Camp
July 20th – July 24th
For current 6th and 7th graders.
We intentionally separate these weeks so we can tailor the teaching, small groups, activities, and leadership focus specifically to each age group. Junior high and high school students process differently, grow differently, and face different challenges — and we want to meet them where they are.
Why Summer Camp Matters
Camp is more than just a fun week in the mountains. It’s a spiritual marker.
• Students disconnect from distractions and reconnect with God.
• Small group conversations go deeper than a normal Wednesday night.
• Worship environments are extended and intentional.
• Leaders get meaningful time with students.
• Courageous steps of faith often happen in this setting.
Many of the strongest leaders in our ministry can point back to a camp week where something shifted in their faith.
Registration Details
Registration will open mid-March.
Cost for camp is $450.
We encourage families to mark their calendars now and begin planning ahead. Spots will fill, and we want every student who desires to go to have the opportunity.
If you have questions about camp, we are always happy to help. We cannot wait to see what God does this summer.
