About Connect

This session is designed to be attended WITH your youth group. A limited number of spots will be available for campers attending independently, but the majority of students will be attending with their youth groups.

If you are a youth leader interested in bringing your youth group, please contact the dean, Tyler Chappell.

Connect is designed to reach junior and high school students and their youth groups. We combine some of the best elements from large conferences with the close knit community and spiritual power of Round Lake. Here is some of what makes our week special.

Elective Classes

Each morning you will attend a class of your choosing that connects something you love doing with your faith. Some of our regular options include hiking, art, basketball, board games and outdoor adventures.

Worship

Each day features two incredible times of worship and teaching. Our services are special because we include games, creative prayer elements, drama and unique worship experiences in every session.

Late Night Fun

Our late night experiences are often the highlight of the week. We host concerts, take trips to ride go-karts and throw dance parties. These big events will give you a chance to connect with new friends and process a great day.
