High school beach camp
(9th-12th Grade Students)
June 27-30, 2025 | Panama City Beach, FL
Attention all high school students! Beach Camp 2025 in Panama City Beach, FL, is a weekend you won't want to miss! We're headed back to Laguna Beach Christian Retreat as we explore God’s Word, participate in worship, and enjoy some time soaking up the sun on the beach!
Our theme this year is "Awe & Wonder!" Acts 2:42-47 says, "And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.”
The early church was not composed solely of followers of Jesus; it was made up of individuals who were in awe and wonder of Christ. Our hope is that by the end of this year's Beach Camp, you will leave with a renewed sense of awe and wonder regarding who God is.
How much does it cost?
The cost for Beach Camp is $350 per student (March 3 - May 31) and then increases to $400 per student (June 1 - June 25). Make sure to register now and save!
