As we look forward to this summer, we recognize that for a select group of our campers this summer will be different than any other.

Senior year is coming. College is coming. Real life is coming. 👀

Before you step into everything that’s next… take three days to get grounded.

**The Next Weekend** is happening June 28–30 at Camp Nebowa (yes, Sunday–Tuesday… we know, it's not actually a weekend 😅). It’s built specifically for students heading into their senior year of high school and students stepping into their freshman year of college.

This isn’t just another camp.
It’s space to ask big questions.
To grow in your faith.
To build real friendships.
To get equipped for the season ahead.

Because what’s next can feel big — but you don’t have to walk into it unprepared.

📍 Camp Nebowa
📅 June 28–30
🎓 For rising seniors & incoming college freshmen

Tag someone that's currently a Junior or Senior in the comments to let them to to grab their spot today!

Tomorrow is the big day! We have 67 bunks left to put together! Things to bring:

1) yourself and anyone else you can wrangle up!
2) Box cutters! We have lots of boxes to open!
3) rubber mallets. For those parts that need some gentle persuasion.
4) 11/16 sockets and ratchet unless you prefer the little wrenches that came with the beds.

See you at 9am. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided. Looking forward to the food and fellowship!

🏔️ **Registration is OPEN for Summer 2026 at Camp Nebowa!** 🏔️

This summer we’re heading up the mountain with our theme from Psalm 24 — asking the big question: *“Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord?”*

Campers will discover who God is as Creator and King, how Jesus made the way for us to draw near, and what it looks like to live with clean hands and pure hearts. It’s going to be a week full of faith, fun, friendships, and powerful moments that point students to the King of Glory.

🎉 Early bird pricing is available through May 31 — be sure to register soon to take advantage of the discounted rate!

Registration is based on the grade the camper will be in for the 2026-2027 school year.
