Surf’s Up!
It’s the phrase every surfer longs to hear!
The waves are BIGGER! The challenge will be GREATER, and the experience is always more MEMORABLE!
This Summer the SURF’S UP in the mountains at Angeles Crest Christian Camp! Not with BIGGER ocean waves (obviously), but instead with:
- A BIGGER reminder of who Jesus is and the Enormous Sacrifice He made for us on the cross.
- A BIGGER challenge to be the Godly person we are called to be in this world.
- A BIGGER effort to find the BOLDNESS and COURAGE needed share Jesus with others.
Jesus, who could ride the waves and walk on water with the best of them, reminds us in our key Scripture, Matthew 14:27 that we can be bold in our faith knowing He is with us wherever we go.
“Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
A phrase all believer longs to hear, and be reminded of if they are going to bring that message home in WAVES this summer!
Preteen Dates:
- Weekend 1: July 10-12
- Weekend 2: July 24-26
Bigger News!
We are also excited to be joined by Johnny Lazarus himself this summer. Johnny and his friends (created by our own staff member, Keith Poletiek) will leap off the pages of their popular Christian book series and into Summer Camp 2026 ready to help us all catch the Wave of Courage needed to not just stand on the shoreline of life and watch other jump in, but instead, Paddle Out, Catch a Wave and Ride the Wild Surf and be Jesus to those around us, knowing He “SURFS” right beside us!
Don’t let your kids miss this “Mountain Surfing” experience where finding new boldness and courage in Jesus will help send them on the ride of their lives!
How Angeles Crest is Perfect for Preteens
Preteens are at a unique stage of life—old enough to ask big questions, young enough to dive in without hesitation. Angeles Crest Christian Camp gives 3rd–6th graders the space, support, and fun they need to encounter Jesus in a way they’ll never forget.
At Angeles Crest, preteens:
From wild games to powerful worship to cabin group talks, preteen camp helps kids take real steps in their faith—and have a total blast doing it.
We Handle the Program—You Lead the Kids
We know how much energy it takes to lead preteens. That’s why we plan everything, with preteen energy and curiosity in mind. At Angeles Crest, our preteen summer camps are fully programmed events with engaging chapel sessions, interactive games, and thoughtful small group time—leaving you free to focus on relationships.
Here’s what’s included:
Whether it’s your first church camp or your tenth, we make bringing your group and going deep with your kids simple.
A Milestone Weekend in Their Faith Journey
Preteen camp isn’t just a fun event—it’s a turning point. Many campers first hear and respond to the gospel at Angeles Crest. Others take bold steps toward spiritual growth, gaining a deeper understanding of who they are and who God is.
For you as a leader, camp gives you meaningful time with your students that is hard to replicate during a regular weekend or midweek program. You’ll leave with stronger relationships, deeper trust, and a front-row seat to what God is doing in their hearts.
“Preteen camp sets the stage for everything that comes next—junior high, high school, and a lifelong walk with Jesus.”
