If your kids have always enjoyed summer camp, it may get a little more difficult to send them as teenagers.  Unless they are planning to be camp counselors or take on a leadership role, they may feel that traditional summer camp is too “babyish” after the age of 14.  Now may be the time to research other options for Christian summer camps for teens.  Student Life Ministries offers a number of excellent weeklong programs that fit perfectly into a busy teenager’s summer schedule.  Many of these summer camps are held on college campuses, so your teenager will get a taste of college life.

Does your teenager need to step outside of themselves and see the world through the eyes of someone less fortunate?  Have they considered going on a foreign missions trip but they are not sure if this is the right ministry for them?  Student Life Ministries offers a very large selection of programs, including traditional camp, beach camp, and missions’ trips.  If your teenage boy or girl really wants to broaden their horizons next summer, I highly recommend the missions trips.

Student Life Ministries’ missions’ trips are a Christ-centered journey that combines a camping experience with a missions’ trip.  Teens enjoy engaging worship music from well-known Christian musicians, sound Biblical teaching in daily Bible studies, missions’ projects in the local community and sharing community in Family Groups.  This action-packed week is focused on active learning, heartfelt praise, teamwork and community building; but most importantly offers a way to put God’s Word on center stage.

Student Life Missions trips are designed for youth groups to do outreach within a local community.  Because relationships built within a teenager’s local church are so important to their discipleship, these Christian summer camps for teens are run by men and women from a church’s own leadership team.  Student Life partners with this group to provide everything needed for a meaningful missions’ trip experience.

Have you been trying to find the right environment to inspire your son or daughter to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ? Instead of looking in the same places for the best Christian summer camps for teens, check out the selection of week-long missions’ trip camps by Student Life Ministries.  They offer an age-appropriate experience to help teenagers step outside of themselves while helping others learn about the love of Christ.
