At Camp Summit we give kids and teens the opportunity to leave their neighborhoods for a day, weekend or whole week and experience cookouts and retreat activities that are not available in their housing complexes. These activities forever change the children and teens that attend Camp Summit and bring them closer to each other and God.
Camp Staff & Intern Opportunities
Camp Summit is a ministry of YouthHope.
Urban kids have an alarming deficit of experiences outside their neighborhoods and housing complexes. Cookouts, retreats or a whole week at Camp Summit are vital to their development and pursuit of God. Kids and teens are forever changed by the experiences camp offers them.
Rental Groups
