Fan the flame of your faith at this year's YTH CAMP!
CFS YTH Camp '26
CFS YTH Camp is back! If you're in middle school or high school, then you can't miss out on CFS YTH Camp '26 happening on June 7-11, 2026! We will be returning to Camp Anderson Anchored in Old Town, FL for five days full of community, outdoor camp activities and such spiritual growth in ways you'll be talking about long after camp is over.
There will be powerful worship, morning devotionals, sound biblical teaching from our CFS teaching team, and the opportunity to build authentic, God-honoring relationships. Ultimately, students will come away not only with a renewed fire for God, but knowing exactly how they can continue to fan that flame long after they have left camp.
Registration is OPEN now until Thursday, April 23, 2026. Spots are limited and registration may close early in the event that all spots are filled before the registration deadline. In the event all spots are filled, your student can be placed on a waiting list, but a spot on the trip is NOT guaranteed.
The total cost of this year's CFS YTH Camp is $550, which covers the cost of lodging, transportation to and from the campground, meals at the camp, swag bags for each student, activities, and production rentals.
There will be a MANDATORY parent orientation taking place on Friday, May 22, 2026 at 7 pm at the Palmetto Bay campus. This meeting is only for the parents of students attending this years camp. Parents and students must attend this orientation in person and it will serve to inform parents of the itinerary and camp details, as well as to answer any questions.
If you have any concerns or questions, please contact Amy Morrison, CF Students Administrative Assistant at amorrison@cfmiami.org.
