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.
