Christian Conferences - The Edge Christian Camp

No one can argue that the youth of today’s culture are bombarded with lies and distractions from the world, flesh and the Devil. The Edge Christian Camp is equipped with a special environment for youths to be exposed to Christ’s life changing truths over the world’s alluring call. Its location amidst God’s creation allows the distractions of the world to become diminished so that the attention of juniors and teens youths may be focused on God’s will and way for their present and future lives. Our counselors are Biblically equipped and well-prepared through staff training prior to summer camp so that they may assist juniors and teens to work through their questions from Scripture while the fun, food, competition, and activities remind them of the benefit and necessity of fellowship outside of the digital world. Though each youth within the local church may have differing backgrounds, the Edge offers a week of spiritual help for each camper fourth through twelfth grade to experience group activities and one-on-one discussions with their counselors. Each part of the week including cabin clean up, carnival night, and Scripture memory all contribute to the healthy competition and comradeship throughout the week preparing the hearts of the teens for God’s deep working!

Lasting from Thursday evenings through Saturday afternoons, our themed conferences fill the need for a brief but timely refreshment of relevant and uplifting truth from God’s Word. Several sessions are offered at each conference to enrich and educate young adults, married couples, senior adults, ladies, and men with Biblical tools necessary to embrace and flourish in their respective season of life! When attendees are not in session, they may enjoy all the amenities offered at the Edge including hiking trails, pond and river views, the games offered in the gymnasium, fellowship with others, sweet treats at the Cornerstone Creamery, and souvenirs from the gift shop!

Similar to our conferences, retreats at The Edge offer a crucial time of relaxation, removing minds from the world and the distractions of it. Free time activities, team competitions, immersion in God’s Word, and fellowship with other believers challenges the believers and provides a unique opportunity for the lost to hear of God’s saving power.

Another way in which The Edge assists the local church is by offering evangelistic, annual events all of which last either one or two days. These events cater to the spiritual needs of juniors, teens, senior saints, and families and include the Refuge Youth Revival in January, Family Day in May, Junior Harvest Rally in September, Teen Harvest Rally in October, and Edge of the Year Blowout to ring in the new year! The only hope for the transfer of truth to our generation is to continually reach people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ! The Edge is grateful to assist the local church in this high calling!

Camp but at church–this is the concentration of Edge2go as a team from the Edge comes directly to your church to conduct services, skits, music, games, God-and-I-time, and outside competitions to give the youth of local churches a small glimpse of experiencing camp at The Edge. Ministering in states across the United States, the Edge2go team enjoys staying through weekends to minister in the local church encouraging the church members and local church leadership! Experiencing an Edge2go encourages local churches and opens the door for parents and teens to come to the Edge to receive truth from a week-long experience on the property.

Because of the lasting impact of camp on the lives of young people, The Edge has a desire to provide missionaries across the world with the tools necessary to conduct their own camp. Local churches and individual donors help provide the means necessary to purchase the equipment required so that the missionary may run their own camps without the assistance of The Edge. The Edge team travels directly to the missionaries’ place of ministry to model a week of meetings for campers of any age! The impact lasts much longer after the team has gone as God’s Word continues to work in the hearts of the natives who have heard the message of God’s love through the Edge Team and the faithful missionaries who minister in the country!
