• LIFT2026 with Waypoint Youth Registration

    (This form has a pop-up at the end. You might need to enable popups from this website in your browser, depending on your settings.)

  • Thank you for checking out LIFT!

    LIFT is the annual summer camp for Waypoint Youth, the official youth ministry of Waypoint Church, going on 11 years . This year, camp will be at beautiful Camp Koinonia in Cle Elum, WA. We'll spend 6 days and 5 nights together among the trees and mountains, learning, playing, being challenged, and connecting with each other. You can expect plenty of team activities, arts and crafts, sports, swimming in the heated pool OR the pond, fishing and kayaking, campfires, challenge courses, biking, archery tag, volleyball, 9-square, disc golf, and hiking during our time together. LIFT is a Bible-based Christian Summer Camp that teaches students to live out the Love of Jesus Christ in their own lives and as they love others with that same love.

  • Note for 18 year olds:

    Even if you are a legal adult, we still need parental contact info. You will be under the authority of the adult leaders at camp to the same degree as a minor.

  • Hello! This is the official Registration Form for LIFT 2026 (LIFT26) with Waypoint Youth.

    This form must be filled out for each student attending! The deadline for LIFT26 registration is June 22, 2026, subject to availability. LIFT26 is taking place at Camp Koinonia in Cle Elum, WA.

    AGE REQUIREMENT:

    • LIFT26 is for students going into 7th-12th grade, and 2026 high school grads.
    • This is a new age requirement. Students must have completed 6th grade to go to camp, AND be at least 11 years old.
    • This is based on a typical K-12 school progression, with students finishing high school at 18 years old. Some exceptions allowed based on Director discression. 
    • "I have a student going into 6th grade who is 11 years old, and they've been told for months they'd get to go to camp because they met the old age requirement." - If this is the case, please contact Pastor Drew at dpappas@waypoint-church.org before continuing with this form.
      • We may honor that child's registration in good faith, since the change was made recently, assuming they meet the old age requirement, which is that they must be 12 years old by January 1.
      • Starting in 2027, no exceptions will be made on the minimum age requirement.

    COST:

    • LIFT26 costs $310 per student. 
      Payment is required at the time of registration!

  • You can find detailed info about LIFT26 at waypointyouth.com/lift, but we need to cover some basics here.

  • Also on the website - you will find a form from Camp Koinonia to report dietary restrictions and food allergies. If you will have special dietary needs that the camp can do their best to fulfill, fill out this form.

    NOTE: The staff at Koinonia do their best to provide options to meet your needs. Only fill out this request if you intend to follow those dietary needs. It is frustrating to the camp if they provide special meals that the participants end up not eating.

  • There are new requirements this year for the Camp Dress Code!

    This information will also be in the Student Agreement, and posted at waypointyouth.com/lift.


    Dress Code:

    At all times, your clothing should be appropriate, respectful, and comfortable for the activity at hand. Obviously, this means there is a different standard for indoor meetings, outdoor activities and sports, sleeping, and swimming. Never wear anything offensive, provocative, or that otherwise attracts inappropriate attention.


    Here’s some specifics we want you to know about:

    No booty shorts - We don’t want to see your butt cheeks.

    Swimwear: No string bikinis, no speedos - Opt for something more secure, and that fully covers sensitive areas. If unsure, ask a youth leader of the same gender. 

    Shirts must always be worn indoors and during large group activities -  For all mealtimes, team sports, or large group activities, you should be fully clothed.


    In any situation, youth leaders may find it necessary to ask you to change into something else, even if you think it is already ok. The primary goal with our dress code is your own self-respect and dignity. We do not want anyone feeling shame or condemnation for their body, as we firmly believe that your body is a temple, worthy of respect. Please do your best to abide by these new rules, for your own benefit, and the example for others.

    If you have any questions or concerns, talk to Pastor Drew or Jessica Pappas.

    All of this info can be found at waypointyouth.com/lift.

  • Student Medical Information

    We want to take care of your student as best we can. It can be helpful to us to have this information so we can watch out for them and make sure their camp experience is as good as it can be! If any of the following overall health issues apply to your student, please let us know in the field below each list. Describe the issue, what we can expect from the student, and how we can help them.

  • NOTE:

    We have counselors designated to function as "Camp Nurses", but we do not have a certified RN on site. Camp Nurses provide limited care and first aid, dispense of medications per written instructions, and can call emergency services, but are not trained or certified as official Nurses. The nearest emergency services are in Ellensburg, which is about a 30 minute drive from Koinonia.
  • Medical History
  • Mental/Emotional/Social Health

  • Checking-In of Medication

    If your child takes medication or has health concerns, the Camp Nurse will be contacting you prior to camp.

  •  if your child brings OTC Medication, they must be turned in to the camp nurse upon arrival and can not remind in your child's custody while at camp. This is for the safety of all campers and we thank you in advance for abiding in this requirement.
  • Will this student be bringing any medications to camp?*

  • Student Medication Info

  • All medications are turned in upon arrival, and maintained with camp staff.

    Campers may NOT self-administer prescription or over the counter medications, including Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Advil, Cold remedies, decongestants, antihistamines, vitamins, medicated creams and ointments, unless given an agreed-upon exception, clearly communicated between parents, student, and camp staff.

  • Containers: All medications must be in original bottles.

    Prescription medications must have pharmacy label with name of patient and drug, dose amount, doctor name and directions. Nonprescription medications and supplements must be in original packaging. It is recommended that all medicine amounts provided should be limited to the supply necessary for the duration of the camper’s stay. All medication will be given per directions and dosage on the bottle unless guardian has notified us in writing of any changes.

  • Inhalers & EpiPens: Inhalers & EpiPens must be provided to camp staff upon arrival.

    After inhaler and EpiPen has been verified, it will be distributed to the camper for self-use, or resident counselor as deemed appropriate by camp staff.

  • Medication Information

    We need to know all of the medications your child will be taking at camp. Our camp nurse will see to it that they are administered correctly, on time, at the right dose. Again, we will verify this with you and the student at drop-off.
  • Are there additional Medications your student will be taking?

  • Additional Medications:

    Leave blank any input fields that do not apply.

  • Parent / Family Info

  • Format: (000) 000-0000.

  • Parental/Family Info: Do we already have this information?

    The following section contains questions for parents, emergency contacts, and asks for doctor info that most likely will apply to all of your students, if you are sending multiple students from the same household. If this is the case, and you've already filled out this info, we'll allow you to bypass it to save you some time.
  • Have you filled this part out before?*

  • Secondary/Emergency Contact

    Another adult we can contact in case of an emergency.
  • Format: (000) 000-0000.

  • Family Medical Info

    If you are sending multiple students to camp and they have DIFFERENT health care providers, you can write all information here, separated by commas, clearly letting us know which information is for which student. Example: "Grogu's Doctor: Mace Windu. David Tennant's Doctor: Matt Smith."

  • Student Agreement

    ALL STUDENTS will be required to read and sign the student agreement when they arrive at camp! This is a one-page contract for students that, by signing, the student agrees to all rules and requirements to attend camp. If a student does not sign the agreement, they will not be permitted to attend camp. 

    While it cannot be signed now, you can still read it so you and your student know what to expect. You can read the student agreement at waypointyouth.com/lift. This will also be linked in the confirmation email upon completion of this form.

    We STRONGLY recommend you go over this with your student so that they know what they are getting into!

  • Media Recording

    During camp, select youth leaders will be taking photos of camp activities and of students. These photoes will be used for the camp slide show, or used for promotional and celebratory material for camps or other church events, within the confines of WayPoint Church and WayPoint Church events.

    In print or digital media, images of minors are not referenced with last name nor provide specific identifying information. Images are not sold; they are used exclusively for WayPoint Church’s purposes. 

    Social Media

    Large group photos in which individual student identification is unlikely may be posted to WayPoint's social media outlets (instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok). Any images or videos of specific students will only ever be posted to social media with direct parental permission.

    Other Students

    Students often bring their own cameras to camp. We allow this for personal use, and encourage all students to only post images with permission, but this is somewhat out of our control. We advise you to have a conversation with your student about having their picture taken, and when to speak up.

    By signing below, you acknowledge this and give permission to WayPoint Church (WPC) for your student's image from LIFT26, July 5-10, to be used in the slide show and in promotional/celebratory materials. If you have questions or objections to this, please reach out to Pastor Drew at dpappas@waypoint-church.org.
