Summer 2025 was one for the books, but now we’re trading swimsuits for sweaters (hopefully!) and shifting focus to our busy retreat schedule, annual Family Weekends, and preparations for another unforgettable summer at Cho-Yeh! At the core of everything remains our mission: to be a place where Jesus transforms lives through meaningful relationships and outdoor adventures. Take a look at what’s happening at Camp this fall and how you can jump in!
Never Grow Up – At Camp!
We just wrapped up hosting both our Father Son and Mother Daughter Weekends where parents got to stay at Timbers, our newest campsite, for the first time! Dads and Dudes bonded over shared challenges and new adventures, while Moms and Girls spent intentional time connecting over activities and meaningful moments. We love seeing families walk away with memories and stories that will last far beyond the weekend.
There’s a Spot For You – But Not For Long
Summer 2025 was one for the books, and we are so grateful for all that God did in the lives of campers! Each week was filled with growth, new friends, and outdoor adventures that pointed campers to Jesus. As we look ahead, another summer of life-changing ministry is on the horizon and we can’t wait to welcome both new and returning campers back to Camp!
📌 We’ve had over 2,300 campers register already and several sessions are already filling up!
👉 Haven’t signed up yet? Don’t wait – spots are filling and we had over 45 waitlists last summer! Register today and secure your camper’s place for Summer 2026.
Oh, Christmas Tree! – Campy is Coming Up
December 19-21, 2025
Camp is getting festive this December! Campy Christmas is back and better than ever, because it’s now open to campers K-8th grade! This weekend combines holiday festivities with Camp-favorite activities, and is a great time for parents to get some last-minute shopping or prep done. Come reconnect with Camp friends, invite friends who have never come, or just try out Camp for the weekend before committing for the summer!
📌 Over 240 campers have already enrolled!
👉 Sign up NOW to reserve your camper’s spot for this fun and festive weekend!
Suit Up for the Summer – AKA We’re Hiring!
We currently have almost 200 summer staff already hired and are busy on the recruiting trail in search of more incredible young adults to join us next summer! All of our fulltime staff are pitching in this fall to travel to college campuses across the country to meet emerging leaders who want to make an eternal impact while having the best summer job ever.
Know someone who would be a great fit? Point them to our staff page or staff Instagram and encourage them to apply today!
Double Your Impact
A generous Cho-Yeh family has offered a $15,000 match for all new or increased monthly gifts to the Camper Scholarship Fund. Last summer, 872 campers received $597,636 in scholarships and we know the need will be even greater next year. Join us in reaching the goal of 40 families participating in this matching challenge by the end of October and your gift will go twice as far: $30/month sends 1 camper, $60/month sends 2!
Your monthly gift = twice the life change. Donate today to double your impact!
Off the Beaten Path – with Compass!
Our Compass class of 2025-2026 is off and running! This year, 20 students are living under the tall pines with 5 incredible guides leading the way. Together, they’re embarking on a one-of-a-kind gap year filled with high adventure, meaningful community, and rewarding work that will shape their character for the rest of their lives. This fall, they will get to explore Oklahoma, join in on staff retreat in Galveston, and host a Friendsgiving!
Impact Story
“Camp is really fun and I already told my friends they should come because there are a lot of fun activities, good food, and we get to read our Bible a lot. I’ve learned more about Jesus and it has taught me to be kind and nice to my siblings. I want to come back next year to make more friends and learn more about God!”
