High School Summer Camp

Converge High School is going to Summer Camp!

From July 21-25, we will be heading to Massachusetts to experience Hume New England! Hume New England provides an incredible opportunity to get away from the busyness and distractions that young people face on a daily basis and make memories at camp.

When you come to Hume New England, not only will you engage in high-energy recreation and activities, but you will experience God through chapel sessions, worship, small group breakouts, and spending time in His creation. If you allow Him, the Lord can use a week at Hume New England to change your life forever.

High School Camp is for students entering into grades 9-12 in the fall of 2025. If your child is entering grades 7 & 8 in the fall of 2025, please check out the Middle School Summer Camp page; linked HERE.

Each year Hume creatively tells a Bible story with using a theme. This year’s camp is called “Allvaldr”, where the programming staff will be sharing the story of Joseph through a Viking theme. We will learn that even in the trials and difficulties of life, we can trust in the sovereignty and providence of God.

Who is the speaker?

The speaker for the week is Erik Thoennes. Erik is professor and department chair of biblical and theological studies at Biola University and a pastor at Grace Evangelical Free Church in La Mirada, California.

What is Recreation and Super Spirit Day?

Throughout the week, recreation teams are awarded points, but on Super Spirit Day, themed costumes multiply the points to give your team the chance to win! All campers receive a free rec shirt, but only the winning team gets the coveted “Champion” shirt. This year’s theme is vikings, so we high encourage you bring any viking hats, face paint, etc.  for this day.

What’s up with electronics?

Since the bus ride is a longer one, we do allow cell phones on the bus to and from summer camp. Once we arrive at camp, leaders will collect phones and put them into a safe for the week. We do not allow headphones on the bus. If you want to take photos, we encourage you to bring a disposable camera or find our photographers throughout the week!
