Safety & Leadership
The Student Trip is organized by Zeph & Victoria Berman who Pastor the Student Ministry (6th-12th Grade) of Great Life Church. Along with them, approved chaperones and student leaders will be assisting to make this trip possible. All approved leaders will be background checked team members of Great Life Church's ministry teams, or staff members. The resort and our vehicles will also have first aid equipment on hand if necessary. The campgrounds are also equipped with first aid if necessary.
Spiritual Development
Our goal for this 4-day trip is to provide a safe opportunity for students to get separate from the pressures and demands of their day-to-day lives and intentionally focus on God. Students will participate in daily chapel services, life groups, daily life journals, fun group activities, games, and competitions to reset and enjoy the end of their Summer. Our prayer is that students return from Student Camp 2023 more in love with God than ever before and ready to take on their upcoming school year. Students will be encouraged to limit the use of technology to the best of their ability so they can tune into God like never before.
Age Group Restrictions
The Student Trip is open to students who are currently in 6th-12th grade. Students who just graduated are welcomed to attend as their last official event in Great Life Students. Students older or younger than this age group will not be permitted to apply. For students younger than 6th grade, we advise you to check out our annual Kids Camp, here at Great Life Church.
