DWELL Camp is almost here! 🏔️
Parents, camp is just two weeks away, and we are so excited to take our Students United students to DWELL Camp in Glorieta, New Mexico!
Sign-ups are now closed, so this post is for our registered students and families. Please read through the details below so you know exactly what to expect before departure day.
Camp Details
📍 Where: Glorieta Adventure Camps | Glorieta, NM
📅 When: June 10–14, 2026
👥 Who: Incoming 7th grade through just-graduated students
Departure Day: Wednesday, June 10
Students need to arrive at Abernathy United by 8:15 AM for breakfast and check-in.
Before leaving, parents must check in with a leader to make sure we have everything completed and ready to go, including:

• Medical Release Form
• Photography Release Form
• Any remaining camp balance or payment plan finalized
We will leave the church promptly at 9:00 AM, so please be on time.
Phones at Camp
Students will not have access to their phones during camp so they can fully focus on Christ, worship, community, and what God is doing during the week.
Students may bring their phones for the drive home, but phones will be collected on departure day and kept by leaders during camp.
If there is an emergency, leaders will have phones and parents will be able to contact us.

• Sleeping bag or twin-size sheets
• Pillow and pillowcase

Return Home
We plan to return to Abernathy on Sunday evening, June 14. Students will notify parents when we are getting close.
We are praying for a powerful week at DWELL Camp — that students would grow deeper in God’s Word, in worship, in community, and in their relationship with Christ.
Parents, thank you for trusting us with your students. We are expectant for all God is going to do! 🙌
