CFS is going to CAMP!
CFS YTH Camp 2025
The CF Student's Ministry is excited to announce that this year we will be going to CAMP! If you're in middle school or high school, then you are invited to attend this year's CFS YTH Camp taking place July 6-10, 2025 at Camp Anderson Anchored. We anticipate this trip to be both God-honoring and life-changing. Our students will start and end their days with amazing worship services, experience lots of fun activities, and enjoy delicious meals.
The total cost of this years CFS YTH Camp is $500, which helps to cover the cost of the campground, transportation to and from camp, meals at camp, swag bags for each student, activities, and production fees at the venue.
No payment will be accepted without a completed registration form. All registration forms must also be notarized before being turned in. Turning in a registration form without a deposit or full payment will not guarantee a spot. If you need a notary, you can contact the Christ Fellowship office at (305) 238-1818 and coordinate a day and time. A parent with a valid ID must be present. Notarization does not need to be done by Christ Fellowship; any notary can notarize the form. To submit your notarized registration form and make a payment, please contact your local CF Students Director and they will receive your registration form and provide you with a personalized link for payment.
Due to the limited cabins at the campsite, there are limited spots available for students. Once we reach capacity, registration will be closed. The deadline to register is May 28, 2025, however, spots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis, so registration may close sooner than that. If that happens, your student can be placed on a waiting list, but not guaranteed a spot on the trip.
There will be a mandatory meeting for parents and students once registration is closed. It will be held at the Palmetto Bay campus and this meeting will serve to inform parents on itinerary and camp details, as well as to answer any questions.
If you have any concerns or questions, please contact Madelyn Napoles, CF Students Administrative Assistant at mnapoles@cfmiami.org.
