July 13-18, 2026
We are a unique week of summer camp for youth who have completed the 9th, 10th, 11th or 12th grades. Many of our campers come back year after year, but, not all have been before. We pray that you come and find your place at CCE and come back throughout your high school career, finding your way back “home”.
Youth Directors may attend with their youth, but we are limited on spots due to the nature of the week, so please contact our directors if you are interested.
Our staff is selected each year from former CCEers and many longtime CCE folks, and sometimes someone who is brand new to CCE! We have pastors, youth directors, counselors, teachers, and college students.
