ReachOut is a camp for incoming 8th graders through graduated High School seniors.
The camp is led by 7 high school juniors and seniors. They are elected each year by their fellow campers to plan the camp for the following year. The planning committee (also known as ‘PC’s’) are these 7 youth, and they meet throughout for retreat weekends alongside two adult staff, the Deans. This is what makes ReachOut unique compared to other camps — it is with youth, for youth, and by youth!
These PC’s lead prayers, worship services, large group games, devotions and other various activities throughout the week. This allows the campers to see their peers in a leadership position and sharing in their faith.
The whole week is based on a Scripture that serves as the theme verse. The Bible study and worship services surround the theme – for example, the Scripture for ReachOut 2023 was Joshua 1:9.
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
