This Year's Camp Dates:
July 16-22, 2017
It is the purpose of Mancelona Youth Camp to help each and every young person grow personally and spiritually. You'll meet and reconnect with some awesome friends (who may just come to feel like family!), have a lot of fun, be mentored by our amazing staff, and most importantly be encouraged to develop and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Because really, that's what it's all about!
Registration for 2017 is now open!
NEW and NOTEWORTHY FOR 2017:
- Online payment through Paypal is available once again. There is a processing fee added to all online payments.
- CELL PHONES ARE NOT ALLOWED AT CAMP! No cell phones will allowed at camp this year. If you want to bring your phone and turn it in at registration, you may do so. We will hold it for you until Friday night after the evening service. Any phones turned into us will be given back before the talent show so you can take pictures and videos. No phones may be out at any services or scheduled activities on Saturday or they will be taken and not given back until you check-out.
- There are 2 different registration forms again this year. One is for campers wanting to stay in the dorms, and the other is for campers staying on a lot with their parents. Please make sure you are filling out the correct form!
- Lot campers have the choice to not have meals included in their registration cost and eat with their parents at their campsite instead. Please circle the correct choice on your form. You will need to sign a waiver saying you will provide food for your child.
2017 Speaker - Chelsea Henion
Chelsea has been a youth pastor at Colonial Woods Missionary Church for seven years now but was practically raised in the Missionary Church. She graduated from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago in 2009 with degrees in Biblical Studies and Communications. She is passionate about bringing the Word of God to life and absolutely loves working with both junior high and high school students. She thinks life as a Christian should be an adventure, which is why she also loves: Jesus, paddle-boarding, travel, good stories, art and technology, in that order.
2017 Worship - Jesse and Jessica Maurer
Jesse and Jessica reside in LaGrange, Indiana, along with their two children, Jackson and Calli. Jesse is the Worship Pastor at Pleasant Ridge Christian Fellowship in Middlebury, Indiana, where he and Jessica serve together in music ministry. Jesse also works full time as a cabinet maker, while Jessica is a stay at home mother. Jesse and Jessica first came to Mancelona Camp in the summer of 2013, as students at Bethel College and members of the BC Chapel Band. They had an awesome experience, and following graduation, returned to Mancelona Camp with their band, Christie Maurer, Ben Heckard, and Luke Maurer, in 2015 & 2016. They have all really enjoyed getting to know the people of Mancelona Camp over the last few years and especially the opportunities to pour into the lives of the youth. They are excited to be returning again this year in an expanded role and it is their strong desire to see their brothers and sisters in Christ, whether young or old, see the Lord in all of His glory and to respond with worship that is pleasing to Him.
