Summer Games – Summer Games is a Christian summer camp for students who have completed grades 6-12. This one-week camp is an experiential, relationship focused camp where students will have the opportunity to learn more about who Jesus is and build relationships with other Christian students.

We Believe

We believe that a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is the only way to eternal life.

Mission

The mission of Summer Games is to engage students in their relationships with Jesus, other Christians, and local community to achieve full participation in the Church.

We accomplish this mission through a one-week camp experience on campus at Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa. Summer Games offers students the chance to connect with peers from across the state, receive mentorship and guidance from their huddle leaders, and have fun in worship and games.

WORSHIP TOGETHER TO ENCOUNTER GOD’S LOVE

Summer Games ensures our worship themes, messages and songs help students learn about our Creator and help engage them in a meaningful relationship with Him.

SPEND TIME EXPLORING AND STUDYING GOD’S WORD

At Summer Games, our focus on relationships helps us teach and share the Good News of Jesus Christ with our campers.

ENGAGE IN MEANINGFUL PEER RELATIONSHIPS

Summer Games is all about relationships. Building a relationship with Jesus. Building relationships with each other. Building a relationship with Christians in their home community.

BUILD RELATIONSHIPS THROUGH GAMES

Summer Games helps students build relationships with each other through worship, small groups, and interactive games.

Why You Should Send Your Youth

Summer Games acts as a catalyst for youth groups to lay the foundational groundwork, helping prepare students for their return to youth group in the fall.

Students leave Summer Games engaged with their faith and ready to engage with their home church.

Youth Groups who bring their students to Summer Games show greater consistency in youth group attendance during the school year.

Many students accept Christ as their Lord and Savior during Summer Games. Having their entire youth group around them builds their support, trust, and engagement with their home church.
