Angeles Crest Update: News & Stories from Our Community

Summer Preteen Camp Recap
Most schools are now back in session, but before we can get officially into “fall mode”, we have to take a quick look back at the awesome preteen camps this summer. It was an incredible camp season at Angeles Crest where students were lifted up by our very own Preteen Program Director, Keith Poletiek with the inspiring message of Reaching the Crest. The campers dug deeper into their faith and made lifelong friends along the way. They were able to enjoy water games, camp rec and quiet time on the mountain. It was a summer to remember.
You can check out the recap videos from both Preteen Camps
If you don’t have time to see the whole video, do not miss the interviews with the campers to see what their favorite part of camp was in the last minute or two.
You can also view (and download) photos from both preteen camps on our SmugMug page.
