ORCHARD YOUTH

Our Youth Ministry goal is to share Christ with students and to help them grow as disciples in truth and love. We meet, hang out, learn, grow, and love Jesus. Our leaders are excited to invest in today's youth and often we see God do some amazing stuff. Come join us whether it is at our weekly youth group and small groups, Sunday School, various trips, and camps, or service projects and missions.

 

There is a place for everyone, and we always have a fun and memorable time!

Summer Camp @ Pondo!

JOIN US FOR SUMMER CAMP 2025 @ Camp Pondo!

Middle and High School Students
July 28 - August 1, 2025
$450 ($100 nonrefundable deposit due at sign-up)

REGISTER NOW!!!

 

Hundreds of students gather each week for an amazing time of worship, teaching, community, and EPIC free time.

Students will be encouraged and challenged to live a life that’s leveraged for the glory of Jesus as they get to encounter Jesus in a unique way! In this environment students not only hear and read about loving one another, they will get to experience it firsthand!

Activities at Pondo!

At Camp Pondo, we have a high value that the camp experience should include activities that kids don’t have the opportunity to participate in on a daily basis. Not many homes have a 100′ water slide, a screaming zip line, or a skate park. Camp is in a unique position to offer exciting experiences in a safe environment. We also believe that kids should be able to participate in ALL activities! So, we do NOT charge extra for activities whether it be crafts created in the Arts Garage, a ride on the Giant Swing, or an excursion on a Mountain Bike. All onsite activities are FREE! 

Giant Water Slide | Bouldering Room | Zip Line | Giant Swing | Paintball | Tree Climbing | Skate Park | Rec-Room | Mountain Biking | Disc Golf | Arts & Crafts | 9 Square in the Air | Hiking | Beach Volleyball | Swimming and more!

You are Not Alone

We recognize that this season presents certain difficulties, and we, as Orchard Youth Leaders, are committed to walking with students through these times. If you or your student is having difficulties and needs someone to talk to, we are always here to talk, help process, and pray with you!
