THIS Year's Camp Dates:
July 19-25, 2026
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!
NEW and NOTEWORTHY FOR 2026:
- Online payment through Tithely is available once again. There is a processing fee added to all online payments.
- The cost for a week of camp will remain at $225. A deposit of $50 is due with your registration with the balance being due at camp.
- CELL PHONES ARE NOT ALLOWED AT CAMP! No cell phones will be allowed at camp again 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, then collected before bed time. The phones will be returned at check out. Phones will not be available any other time during the week.
2026 Speaker - TBA
Note from your Camp Directors: We are trying something new with our speakers this year. Instead of just one speaker, the youth will have several speakers over the course of the week. Come ready to be encouraged and challenged in your faith by all of our amazing speakers!
2026 Worship- Zach Porta
Hi, my name is Zach Porta and I am the Director of Worship Arts at Genesis Church in Petoskey! My wife, Kim and I along with our two girls, Evyn and Ollie, have lived in the Petoskey/Harbor Springs area for almost 10 years. My experience with leading worship began in high school and it has been an amazing journey that I am continually growing in and blessed by. I am passionate about worshiping our Father in spirit and truth and look forward to seeing what God will do this year at Mancelona Camp!
