This year for our Youth Summer Camp we will be heading to Sky Ranch in Cave Springs, Oklahoma! Located in the foothills of Northeast Oklahoma, this 1400-acre facility holds all the adventure of camping, yet all the comforts of home. At this camp, students will have the opportunity to escape from the stress of everyday life, technology, and the distractions that the busyness of life brings so that they can focus on God and grow together as a student body of Christ. The week will include Biblical teaching and small groups, creative worship, and age-appropriate, community-building games and activities. Students will stay in climate-controlled bunkhouses and enjoy the week with friends and adult leaders. With activities such as swimming in the spring-fed lake with a blob and super slide, hiking, a zipline (additional $7), paintball (additional $12), prayer walk, campfires, basketball courts and more, students are sure to have a great week together growing in community and in their relationship with God in fun and dynamic ways.
Full cost is $289/student with $50.00 (non-refundable) deposit due at registration. Paintball ($12) & Zipline ($7) are optional additional activities. All other activities are included in the registration. From March 1 through April 30, we are offering a $30 early bird discount, making the cost $259. We plan to do a youth car wash on Saturday, June 22, where students could earn funds toward their trip. If the student plans to participate in the car wash, please only pay the deposit along with any activity fees. Registration closes on Wednesday, July 17.

Want to serve?
C3 Youth Ministry exists to partner with parents and families in discipling and training their Middle and High School students for God’s glory. We do this through intentional, youth programs and activities designed to further the discipleship that starts in the home to help them grow in their knowledge of God, equip them for serving Christ in their world, and for engaging culture with God’s truth. We gather weekly for gospel-centered teaching, worship, activities, fellowship, and small group discipleship.
Serve Opportunities
- C3Y SMALL GROUP LEADER: Small Groups play a vital part in our Wednesday Youth Group programs and we are looking for dedicated individuals who have a heart for students and feel called to pour into their lives in a direct way each week. Our Small Group Leaders act as mentors and shepherds to our students who, through small-group discipleship, are simply willing to intentionally “show up” for our students each Wednesday, share their stories, model a Gospel-centered life and walk with our students through their Middle and High School years. This is a weekly commitment during the school year.
- WEDNESDAY SERVE-TEAM: Wednesday Serve-Team volunteers serve for the first 30-45 minutes of Youth Group by helping to serve meals to our students on the food line OR helping at the check-in table – greeting students and helping them get checked-in. Serve-Team volunteers play an important role in making Youth Group a thriving experience and place for our youth. This is a monthly rotation.
- SUNDAY GOSPEL LIFE CLASS GROUP FACILITATOR: Youth Gospel Life Class Facilitators connect with our students during class, engage in and help facilitate class discussion, help monitor, and keep students focused and engaged and occasionally assist with certain activities as needed. Facilitators offer an important shepherding presence to the class discussions and engagement with the students. This is a monthly rotation.
