Summer camp goes beyond the summer. Full time staff say that kind of thing a lot between August and June (the 9 months between) but that becomes especially true when the staff that we have been recruiting since October actually come to camp the first week of June. Recruiting 65-70 high school and college students [...]
The High School Girls weekend retreat was a time when a bunch of girls from different schools, most who’d never met each other, grew together with the Lord, and came out of it bonded as true sisters in Christ. God was very active, moving through the incredible worship, messages, and small group discussion times. The [...]
Picking the summer theme for camp is no small task. Our summer theme dominates our marketing for the full year leading up to camp, influences the direction of our spiritual curriculum, and drastically affects my wardrobe choices for the entire summer. Sam and I spend hours staring at a computer screen bouncing ideas (some great, [...]
As we work on improving our activities, we wanted to share the reason behind it with you all. Activities help campers and guests bond with each other, create memorable experiences, and have a ton of fun. We believe that through these fun experiences, people can make solid relationships through which they can share the gospel. [...]
There's a good chance that right now, somewhere, a kid is getting life advice from a stranger on the internet. Not a teacher, coach, or parent, but a stranger. This is the world we live in.

Take it from someone who worked two summers at camp and had to return to his distant college campus every school year — it's hard to be away from camp. Camp is the place where my life was changed forever. It's where I fully understood what it meant to put my faith in action. Having [...]
We believe a week at Camp Victory isn't just fun for your kid—it impacts them. And we're not just saying that. We've watched it happen, over and over again. Norah said it best: "My favorite part of the week was having that heart-changing moment at which I accepted Christ for the first time." She wasn’t [...]
Camp might be the perfect place for Gen Alpha to be and Fuller Youth Institute (FYI) just got data to back that up. Here at Camp Victory we have always believed camp is the best place for kids to be in the summer. It’s why our full-time staff have devoted their careers to it, why [...]
We just finished our annual retreat for local youth groups called Winter White Out. One moment captured the heart of why we do what we do. But first, does anyone know what Winter White Out even is? Winter White Out is a retreat we host every year for local youth groups. We take care of [...]
FAITH FRIENDS FUN Summer Camp can seem like a really fun option for your child this summer. It might even be something they are interested in. Or maybe it just sounds like a nice way for them to hang out with their friends or cousins while you take a deep breath. While all of [...]
