Winter Youth Camp 2026 Theme: All Eyes on You
In a world that constantly demands more, Winter Camp is a space to pause, exhale, and remember who God is – and who we are in Him. This year’s theme invites students to breathe out the stress, pressure, and performance – and breathe in the truth of God’s presence.

Youth Winter Camp: Where Distractions End and Real Connection Begins
In a world filled with pressure and noise, students need a place to pause—to breathe, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most. That’s the heart of a youth winter camp: stepping back from the busyness of life to draw closer to God.
At Angeles Crest, our fully programmed Christian youth winter retreat is designed for junior high and high school students to encounter God in meaningful ways, deepen friendships, and have an unforgettable time together in the mountains.
From powerful chapel sessions and worship to ziplining and snow tubing, your students will experience faith, fun, and freedom from distraction—all in one life-changing weekend. It’s the perfect environment to live out the true purpose of youth camp—to know God more deeply and build Christ-centered community.
You Focus on Your Students.
We’ll do the Rest.
As a youth leader, you carry a lot—and we see you.
That’s why our Christian youth winter camp is built with you in mind. We blend the real-world needs of churches with the joy and energy of camp to create a weekend with eternal impact.
You don’t need to plan a thing. Just bring your students. We’ll take care of the rest—so you can focus on showing up, connecting, and being fully present.

TEACHING
SPEAKER | RUDY HAGOOD | JAN 29-31, 2027
Rudy was ordained as a Pastor on September 24, 2000. He is passionate about unity in the body of Christ, discipleship, and bridging concepts and people. He is committed to the work of unity. He cannot get over Jesus praying that we would be ONE in John 17. He tends to speak with passion and conviction. His one reward is that he and all people, move one step forward as a result of each encounter.
In addition to pastoral ministry, Rudy also has over 20 years of experience in the social work field where he developed a passion for helping people help themselves. Although his favorite sport is baseball, he received a basketball scholarship to Florida A&M University. His favorite food changes each week, and he’s read over 70 Star Wars books. I think that makes him a Jedi. His favorite quote is “Every man who stands to proclaim the Word should speak with something of the bold authority of the Word itself.” ~ A.W. Tozer
