    In high school. At work. On a team. In a family. For four years. For eight hours. All season. Your whole life. Your geography is limited. Love it or hate it, you can only be in one place at a time. But you can do more than just survive. You can embrace your

    place. God placed you here. And He's here too.

    The book of Daniel is an ancient story with modern implications. A group of teenagers The book of Daniel is an ancient story with modern implications. A group of teenagers were exiled to a foreign land, left to deal with the reality of life in a diverse world. In the shadow of Babylon, they learned it is possible to speak the language of a culture yet still worship God. It's possible to long for home but still speak truth with love and grace. The Kingdom needs you to bless the country not the other way around. This was Daniel's story. And it's your story too. HSM Summer Camp invites you to look at

    your own life through the life of Daniel. To join the beautiful resistance ... To join the beautiful resistance ...

    To stop hating culture and start creating culture ...To live life under the rule of the King ...

    To pray a new prayer ...You are here.

  • KINGDOM WORKER CARDSAt Summer Camp, students are challenged to be Kingdom workers, using their talents and abilities, leveraging their influence, and even using their future career to spread the message of Christ. They are challenged to not only grow in their faith in Christ, but to also show the love of Jesus to the world around them. Summer Camp encourages students to make a difference no matter where they are or what they do.

    This year, students will leave Summer Camp with a specific, seemingly random Kingdom Work This year, students will leave Summer Camp with a specific, seemingly random Kingdom Work Challenge. Thousands of students leave camp every summer ready to make a difference in the world. And guess what... they really do! Weve seen countless high school students change the world. What we want to know is... whos next? Is it you?

    Camp would not be possible without the incredible men and women that give up their time to love the students of HSM. We have over 200 volunteers at camp that radically care about your student and are passionate about seeing them grow in their relationship with the Lord. We thought we would take the time for you to meet just a few of them and hear about their heart for high school students and Summer Camp!

    SUMMER CAMP BAPTISMSWhat is Baptism : Baptism is an awesome celebration! The Bible shows us that baptism is an outward expression of someone putting their faith, hope, and life in Jesus Christ. Jesus is not just some hobby added onto their life, but he has now become their Lord and Savior. Christian baptism of full emersion (whole body under water) is us obeying what Jesus did when he was baptized in Matthew 3:13-17 & Mark 1:10. Baptism is like a visible action showing that the person getting Baptism is like a visible action showing that the person getting baptized is going to live for Jesus Christ for the rest of their lives (Matt.28:19-20; Rom. 6:1-11; 1 Cor.12:13).

    Why We Baptize at Camp: Camp is an amazing time of being surrounded by Christians, learning about Christ, having fun, and asking some deep life questions. Many times we have seen students come to faith in Jesus Christ while at camp. The Bible is very clear (Mark 1:3; Luke 3:3; Matt 28:19; Acts 2:38) that those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ should be baptized. We will have a Baptism Class that every student will go through in order to get baptized and a part of that class is calling their parents or guardians to ask for permission to get baptized.Some of the questions that we will ask in the class to the student are :: Have you been baptized before? If so, at what age and where? Tell me about your journey with Christ. When did you accept the Lord? How would you describe your walk with Him now? What does baptism mean to you? Why do you want to be baptized and why now?

    You do have the voice as their parent or guardian to say no to the baptism. We want to honor and respect your role in the life of your student, so please know that it is ok to say no.

    When:When: We will baptize at camp on Wednesday and at our Summer Camp Reunion on August 5th in the Worship Center.

    NEXT STEPS:LIFE GROUPSWhat are Life Groups? Life groups are where students get to meet once a week to fellowship and grow in their walk with God. The time is spent going through curriculum, which consists of a weekly study, or lesson that will go though stories in the Bible, frequently asked questions about God, and thinking deeper about faith and why we believe what we do.

    Why We Do Life Groups? We believe Life Groups are an amazing time for students to have a personal community that We believe Life Groups are an amazing time for students to have a personal community that is a safe zone to talk about anything going on in life, to grow in their faith together with friends, have a fun time, and a place for accountability to take place.

    When Do They Start?Life Group registration opens up on July 25th and Life Groups start in October. Groups meet during the school year on Tuesday night or Wednesday night at 7 p.m.

    What about my Leader?If your student is already in a Life Group, thats awesome! Camp is a great way to continue If your student is already in a Life Group, thats awesome! Camp is a great way to continue those relationships. If your student is not in a life group, no problem! One of the biggest ways that Life Groups are formed is through Summer Camp with either the cabins they were in or with friends they met during summer camp, and they can choose to pick their leader at camp to be their Life Group leader for the year or next few years.
