Preteen Winter Camp: Faith-Filled Fun for Kids in Grades 4–6

Preteens are growing fast, asking big questions, and looking for where they belong. Our Christian preteen winter camp at Angeles Crest is designed to meet them right where they are.

Our Christ-centered, fully-programmed church preteen retreat gives students a chance to experience real connection with God, their leaders, and each other—while having a total blast in the mountains.

From high-energy worship and biblical teaching to ziplining, sledding, and late-night hot chocolate with friends, Angeles Crest makes winter church camp easy to lead and unforgettable to attend.

You Focus on Your Students.
We’ll Handle the Rest.

We know the energy, care, and creativity it takes to lead preteens—and we’ve got your back.

Our Christian winter retreat for preteens is intentionally designed so you don’t have to plan anything. We take care of the programming, meals, activities, and logistics. You simply bring your group and invest in meaningful time together.

Whether you’re leading a first-time camper or a seasoned 6th grader, you’ll get to show up, be present, and watch God move.

What’s Included in Preteen Winter Camp:

  • Bible-based teaching just for preteens
  • Christ-centered worship with high-energy music
  • Cabin lodging and all-you-can-eat meals

  • Indoor and outdoor activities designed for 3rd–6th graders

  • Free time for connection and fun
  • A distraction-free, no-phone environment

It’s a church preteen retreat designed to strengthen faith and create lasting memories.
