CAMP 2025
july 20th - july 25th - Ojia, ca $260
Help send a student to camp. Camp is a life changing event where students make life long memories. Camp this year will be in Ojia, California July 20th-July 25th for $260. Last year we went to Big Bear, California to Cedar Lake Camp Grounds. During that week the students were technology free as they experience God in a new way through recreational games, worship, and team building. The Refuge Youth Center has been going to camp for over 20 years now. We are ready for Camp 2025! We are excited to see what next year will be like and how much more we will see students lives changed. We work throughout the year to help students have pure clean fun, joy, and love. For the remaining part of this summer we will be working in teams to help build our students relationship with God and the community.

CAMP TESTIMONIES
Student & Leader Testimonies
I was twelve when I first came to The Refuge, not only that but I never knew what Christian life looked like or what it was like to have real friends. It was 2022 and I was on the way to camp for the first time with people I met that same day without my family, I was terrified. but later on those same people made sure I felt welcomed and comfortable. While I was at camp I witnessed people living a Christian life I didn't know was out there for me, I also met some of my most favorite people I know today, Including my best friend Asah. Most importantly I got to meet God for the first time, it wasn't comfortable at first because you never know what your believing in but it grows on you. I am now fifteen years old, and If it wasn't for God or The Refuge I wouldn't have the relationship with God I have today, Neither would I have met or know the people I have today. Now I am living the best life I could, with three amazing baby brothers God blessed me with, Knowing I am now forever living under Gods undeniable presence, doing what God created me to do. "Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before". 1 Thessalonians 4:11 NLT.

This will be my 10th camp! Ever since my first camp, my life has never been the same. I went the first time just thinking it would be nice to get away from the craziness of my family, but it was at camp where I fully devoted my life to Jesus. It is hard to put into words how amazing camp is…..its a time to worship with your whole heart, lay down everything, be real and vulnerable, and so much more. -Camp Leader
