Abide Gathering Youth Camp
For Rising 6th-12th Grade Students
We are so excited to invite your rising 6th-12th grade students to join us for Abide Youth Camp. This year’s camp will be led by Pastor Brian Laxamana, Youth Pastor of Jericho Road Church in Muskegon, Michigan. Brian led past Abide Youth Camps and we are excited to have him back and deepen relationships within the youth group.

Off site field trips and adventures such as the Henry Ford Museum, trampoline park, rock climbing, go-karts, arcade/mini golf, a Detroit Tigers game, and more.
A service project with a local church-based community development organization
Community games and thoughtful conversations with other Abide youth students in a Christ-centered environment.
