Welcome to the SURRENDER 2025 YOUTH & YA Summer Camp Registration

You are one step closer to a powerful life changing spiritual experience with Jesus!

The theme of this camp is

”SURRENDER" where Impact Connection’s mission is to create an atmosphere where believers lay down their own plans and desires in pursuit of a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. Inspired by Luke 9:23, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me,” we want to live a life of daily surrender—letting go of control and embracing God’s will above all else. At this camp we will learn what it truly means to surrender everything to God.

We believe the Holy Spirit is ready to ignite 🔥 a generation of young people boldly saying “yes” and “surrender” to His plans and purposes in their generation, and in the world. His power and presence cannot be contained, and we are expectant for all He will do at Surrender Camp 2025 at Camp Longridge, South Carolina.

But there is more! This camp is event filled and we guarantee that you will have an unforgettable time. There is going to be fun and competitive group games, prizes, spirit-filled sessions, powerful worship, good food, and many extracurricular activities, and most importantly - fresh encounters with God! From all the camps we have organized, we have seen new life-changing friendships and bonds formed every year. We know for certain you will experience the same! There is so much more amazing things at this camp.

This will be an ultimate experience for your youths and young adults! We stand in faith that after this camp, every young person will leave impacted and on fire for God, in such a way that the rest of their lives will never be the same.
