HOUSEBOATS 2018 Houseboats 2018 was one for the record books. Our annual trip has grown over 300%, from 70 to 200 kids in just 4 years! What is drawing these high schoolers to make Houseboats THE trip for them and their friends each summer? Is it the tubing? The wake surfing? The cliff jumping (that does give them a healthy [...]
CREEKSIDE 2018 I think 64 middle schoolers and a race to eat a 30 person sundae at camp says it all --messy, sweet, great. Creekside 2018 was a blast. The God takeaways were epic. Ministry to middle schoolers is definitely different than to high schoolers. One key takeaway happened during cabin time with a group of 7th grade boys, [...]

Alpine 2018 was a blast. We provided games, they made friends, and well, there was lots of sugar. But the most important part was that we wanted the kids to meet Jesus... One of the ways our kids met Jesus at Alpine was thru the one on ones that took place with their leaders. This was my highlight for the [...]
Winter x 2018 was MORE than just Snowboarding and Skiing. We also had a big group go to Bryce Canyon and a group go bowling.

Houseboats 2017 was a huge success. This was the third Houseboat trip for Canyon Springs church and boy did word spread about this trip. We went from 115 to 150 kids. To see this many kids want to come to this camp was quite amazing and we are grateful to be at a church that supports reaching the youth in [...]
Creekside 2017 was a blast! On Sunday, June 18th Oasis Middle Schoolers grabbed their bags and headed north to Forest Home (FoHo) where we spent the week at Creekside! With 38 students and 10 leaders, we were bound to have a great time from the very beginning. No matter if this was your first time or final time going each [...]
Alpine 2017 was a blast. There was a ton of snow this year so that made for even more activities than usual. It was great watching all of our San Diegans struggle to reconcile how to survive in the snow. Looking around the camp, you could tell that our kids were very unprepared as they walked around in Vans and [...]
