Preteen Summer Camp That Plants Seeds for Lifelong Faith

Big Fun. Big Truth. Just for Preteens.

Angeles Crest makes it easy for churches to give 3rd–6th graders a weekend they’ll never forget.

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:

  • Learn who God is and how He sees them
  • Hear the gospel in a way that makes sense for their age
  • Make new friends and feel a part of something bigger
  • Gain confidence through fun, safe challenges and activities
  • Experience God’s creation and unplug from digital noise

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:

  • All programming is tailored specifically for preteens
  • Age-appropriate speakers and Christ-centered messages
  • Worship that’s high-energy, meaningful, and fun
  • Campers grouped by church for small group discussions

  • Built-in games, recreation, and cabin time
  • Lodging, meals, activities, and meeting spaces are all included

Whether it’s your first church camp or your tenth, we make bringing your group and going deep with your kids simple.

Angeles Crest Summer Youth Camp Highlight Reel

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.”

Climb Higher. Trust Deeper. Live Bolder. This Summer, We’re Reaching the Crest!

Wanting to be the “best version of yourself” is never a bad thing. Being goal-oriented, especially when they are young, can only lead, or help lead, to good working habits as kids age.

This is also true when longing to be the best version of Jesus – when they are among family and friends; when striving to be a difference maker in their community, or just a true friend to those people they care about.

Our goal this summer is to inspire them to do more with their faith.
More Bible, more prayer time, more love, more care, more Jesus!
No longer settling for the plateau, but instead, REACHING THE CREST!

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord – Colossians 3:23

Climbing to new heights can be challenging, but the reward is so worth the effort. This summer we want to Prepare Them & Challenge Them to consider working hard to reach new levels of Trust in Jesus and a New Purpose for their lives.

2025 COST:

$290 per Camper
