If you’ve been sending your child to Christian summer camp every year, you may start running into resistance when they hit the teen years.  After the age of 13, many of the Christian summer camps in Colorado offer leadership training and CIT programs, but what if your son or daughter wants to continue being a camper?  As they get into high school, they may find that the summer camps they grew up with are too “babyish.”  Fortunately, there is a remedy for parents whose kids are in this situation. 

Student Life Ministries is one of the leading organizations that help kids make the leap from kids camp to teen camp and beyond.  By offering a series of action-packed summer camps for teens, they make it easy for parents to combine a summer camp experience with a college visit.  As competitive as it is for students in post-secondary education, it’s never too early to start shopping for colleges.  Attending one of Student Life’s Christian summer camps in Colorado is a great way to get your teenager excited about the prospect of attending college.  In fact, many of the camps are located on the campuses of the nation’s top Christian schools. 

In addition to offering Christian summer camps in Colorado, Student Life Ministries runs 4-7 day camps for high-school students at Cedarville University in Ohio, Wheaton College in Chicago, Liberty University in Virginia, and many other top-notch colleges across the country.  In Colorado, two Christian camp programs will be offered in 2012.  One will be held in June at Fort Lewis College in Durango and the other one at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, Colorado.

Students who have attended these camps find these Christian summer camps in Colorado to be a life-changing experience.  Set against the most awe-inspiring landscapes imaginable with a backdrop of the San Juan Mountains, Fort Lewis College is nicknamed the “Campus in the Sky.”  This weeklong Christ-centered summer camp offers campers the ideal environment to draw closer to God and meet new friends. For students who are considering Fort Lewis for their undergraduate degree, Student Life Camps offer them a unique opportunity to make an informed decision. 

Whether your student chooses the camp at Fort Lewis College or the one at YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, it’s hard to ignore God’s handiwork when one is surrounded by the Rocky Mountains.  Find out more about Student Life Ministries’ Christian summer camps in Colorado by visiting StudentLife.com.
